New Insights into Tree Height Distribution Based on Mixed Effects Univariate Diffusion Processes.

The aim of this paper is twofold: to introduce the mathematics of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) for forest dynamics modeling and to describe how such a model can be applied to aid our understanding of tree height distribution corresponding to a given diameter using the large dataset provi...
