Reconstructing spatiotemporal dynamics of Central European natural beech forests: the rule-based forest model BEFORE (2004, background): “The problem is that many of the existing models focus on rather short time horizons and small plots and do not include natural regeneration (e.g. SILVA; Pretzsch, 2001; Pretzsch et al., 2002).”
Tree species mixing can increase maximum stand density (2016, methodology): “Growth models 41 such as yield tables (Assmann 1970, Assmann and Franz 1965), individual tree models 42 (Pretzsch et al. 2002), or eco-physiological growth models (Grote and Pretzsch 2002) often 43 base their predictions of stand density and mortality on species- and site-specific self-thinning 44…”
Comparative testing of single-tree detection algorithms under different types of forest (2011, methodology): “…the treetop candidates detected from ALS data were linked to the field-observed trees according to the following procedure: 1 Maximum crown width (CW) was estimated from diameter at breast height and tree height (H) using species-specific models by Pretzsch et al. (2002) and Nagel et al. (2002).”
Derivation of compatible crown width equations for some important tree species of Spain (2005, methodology): “However, standgrown tree crown width is frequently modelled as depending either on dbh together with tree height (Uzoh and Ritchie, 1996; Pretzsch et al., 2002), or on”
