This book summarizing tree growth modelling theory and its application in Europe is unique in presenting for the first time a platform developed by leading tree growth modelling groups in Europe together with potential end users, represented by 15 European companies. That program promotes and implements a tree growth modelling theory necessary for managing uneven-aged and/or mixed species stands.
