Modelling height and diameter growth of dominant cork oak trees in Spain

Abstract: -A plan for sustainable management is urgently required for cork oak forests. This objective is only attainable through growth models that allow us to predict the medium and long term consequences of different silvicultural treatments. In this study, we have developed height and diameter growth models for dominant cork oak trees using stem analysis data from two of the main cork producing areas in Spain. Difference forms of the Lundqvist-Korf, McDill-Amateis and Richards growth functions were tested and fitted… Show more

“…Examples of individual-tree models using site index or related variables (dominant height increment, or dominant height together with stand age) as a predictor of site quality are various (Calama and Montero, 2005;Sanchez-Gonzalez et al, 2005). However, in uneven-aged stands the dominant height-age relationship cannot be used because stand-age is "by definition" undefined.…”

“…Of the modelling approaches, individual-tree growth modelling is the one enabling a more flexible and detailed simulation of the complex structures of Mediterranean forests and their dynamics. Several researchers have developed individual-tree growth models for different tree species and forest conditions for other Mediterranean tree species and regions (Calama and Montero, 2005;Palahí and Grau Corbí, 2003;Sanchez-Gonzalez et al, 2005;Soares and Tomé, 2003;Trasobares et al, 2004a;2004b).…”

“…Several studies have focused on the effects of thinning on stand parameters, comparing thinned and unthinned (control) stands [8,17,47,48] or stands with different thinning intensities [16,20,42,49]. Similarly, the effects of different thinning regimes on stand value have also been examined [14,17,19].…”
