Metla Project 3283

Stand structure, copetition dynamics and site productivity in growth models

[  Suomeksi  |  Objectives  |  Project leader  |  Researchers  |  Publications  |  Media releases  |  Metla Research  ]

Duration: 2000-2005   Keywords: Biomass, competition, growth model, site, site productivity, stand density, stand development, wood quality
Research Programme: Alternatives of silvicultural practices in forest management and their effects on forest production

Objectives

The objective is to develop methods to control stand structure, stand dynamics and total yield in stand growth predictions. New models for tree and stand structure and stand development will be developed. The models will be capable to describe a large scale of different silvicultural practices. A prediction system for site productivity as a function of site variables will also be developed. The prediction system will serve a possibility to compare productivity of different tree species on different sites over whole country.
