Mechanistic modelling of windthrow in spatially complex mixed species stands in British Columbia
Windthrow is a common problem in forest management that can be predicted or simulated with the use of modelling tools. A hybrid mechanistic model, WindFIRM/ForestGALES_BC, was developed to quantify component windthrow processes for individual trees in heterogeneous stands and in variable retention h...
