Development of a Mixed-Effects Individual-Tree Basal Area Increment Model for Oaks (<i>Quercus</i> spp.) Considering Forest Structural Diversity

Development of a Mixed-Effects Individual-Tree Basal Area Increment Model for Oaks (<i>Quercus</i> spp.) Considering Forest Structural Diversity

In the context of uneven-aged mixed-species forest management, an individual-tree basal area increment model considering forest structural diversity was developed for oaks (<i>Quercus</i> spp.) using data collected from 11,860 observations in 845 sample plots from the 7th (2004), 8th (20...
