Spatial growth model for Scots pine on drained peatland.

A spatial growth model is presented for Scots pine ( L.) on a dwarf-shrub pine mire drained 14 years earlier. The growth model accounts for the variation in tree diameter growth owing to the competition between trees, the distance between tree and ditch, and the time passed since drainage...
