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 ...

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). ...

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 ...

Current forestry practices in Chile largely rely on exotic tree plantations, and limited management experiences are available for the species-rich native evergreen rain forests. Yet, conservationists and forest scientists ...

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 ...

Growth of a managed natural forest and a forest plantation in the Atlantic Zone of Costa Rica were simulated with the TROPFOR programme and the resulting organic matter flows combined with concentrations of plant components ...
