The objetive of this work is to present the simulator of growth and forest production called PLAFORNEA. It is a software that allows to estimate the growth of forest plantations according to the quality of the site and the ...

Forest growth models are key tools for both managing and understanding forest dynamics. These models have evolved from yield tables to models that simulate ecological and physiological processes. Because several approaches ...

Growth models are important both in forest management and forest dynamics studies. As such, forest growth modelling have been widely studied. Yet past efforts to model forest growth have focused on the use of equations of ...

The gap modelig approach was used to develop a simulation model for Pentaclethra forests of the Central American Atlantic Moist ecoregion. The model uses empirically estimated functions fitted from a eight-years field ...

Cell2Fire is a new cell-based wildland fire growth simulator designed to integrate data-driven landscape management planning models. The fire environment is modeled by partitioning the landscape into cells characterized ...

The Atlantic Rain Forest, an important biodiversity hot spot, has faced severe habitat loss since the last century which has resulted in a highly fragmented landscape with a large number of small forest patches (<100 ha). ...
