Simulation model for natural regeneration of Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Betula pendula and Betula pubescens.

Abstract

In the model the regeneration process is divided into 3 subproceeses: birth, growth and mortality of seedlings. Emphasis is on the birth process where the following phases are simulated: seed crop, quality of seeds, maturing of seeds, predation of seeds and germination. -from Author
