Analyzing size-symmetric vs. size-asymmetric and intra- vs. inter-specific competition in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) mixed stands (2014, methodology): “SDIL was derived from the combination of the concepts of SDI and basal area of larger trees (BAL) (Wykoff, 1990), frequently used in growth models to express size-symmetric or size-asymmetric competition respectively (Weiskittel et al., 2011).”
Quantifying the influence of live crown ratio on the mechanical properties of clear wood (2013, methodology): “Tree age could be estimated using remote-sensing techniques through its strong relationship with tree height and site index variables (Weiskittel et al., 2011).”
Modeling annualized occurrence, frequency, and composition of ingrowth using mixed-effects zero-inflated models and permanent plots in the Acadian Forest Region of North America (2011, background): “There are generally two main approaches to model stand ingrowth: static and dynamic (Weiskittel et al. 2011b).”
Competition alters tree growth responses to climate at individual and stand scales (2015, unknown): “Because site index is based on tree growth itself, it has the potential to successfully integrate the effects of many different environmental factors (i.e., both climatic and nonclimatic factors) and has been an effective measure of site quality in many situations (Weiskittel et al. 2011).”
Toward managing mixed-species stands: from parametrization to prescription (2017, background): “…program, a stand growth simulator is created that, with the help of the computer, can reproduce the behaviour of the forest stand and be used to perform scenario runs for various initial conditions and silvicultural treatments (Burkhart and Tomé 2012, Gadow and Hui 2001, Weiskittel et al. 2011).”
Height–diameter equations for larch plantations in northern and northeastern China: a comparison of the mixed-effects, quantile regression and generalized additive models (2016, methodology): “The allometric relationship between H and D varies greatly with stand age, site condition, competition status and silvicultural treatment (Krumland and Wensel, 1988); thus, models using only D as an independent variable may not adequately describe differences among stands and regions (Weiskittel et ”
Predicting individual-tree growth of central European tree species as a function of site, stand, management, nutrient, and climate effects (2017, background): “Empirical forest scenario models have traditionally been prepared to estimate future forest development based on statistical inferences combined with management strategies (Barreiro et al. 2016; Weiskittel et al. 2011).”
