Tree species mixing can increase maximum stand density (2016, background): “2002), or ecophysiological growth models (Grote and Pretzsch 2002) often base their predictions of stand density and mortality on species- and site-specific self-thinning lines that are intended to represent maximum stand density.”
Modelling branch characteristics of Norway spruce from wide spacings in Germany (2007, background): “Mutual shading by branches from upper parts of the crown and neighbouring trees (Grote and Pretzsch, 2002) may give the physiological explanation to the statistical model described.”
Response of branch growth and mortality to silvicultural treatments in coastal Douglas-fir plantations: implications for predicting tree growth. (2007, background): “In contrast, Grote and Pretzsch (2002) and Sorrensen-Cothern et al. (1993) divide the crown into segments of equal length, simulate physiological processes in each segment, and sum the estimates to predict tree-level production.”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, methodology): “Unlike Forest-BGC and CenW, the BALANCE model simulates all physiological processes at the individual-tree-level and is distance dependent (Grote and Pretzsch, 2002).”
Effect of wide spacing on increment and branch properties of young Norway spruce (2006, background): “light environment and photosynthesis, as well as water utilization (e.g. Kern 1962; Kuuluvainen 1991; Grote and Pretzsch 2002).”
