A new algorithm for reconstructing tree height growth with stem analysis data
(Methods in ecology and evolution, 2021)Stem analysis allows us to obtain an abundant amount of information on tree growth. A couple of algorithms exist to utilize section height and growth ring data for reconstructing height and ... -
A study on the effects of unbalanced data when fitting logistic regression models in ecology
(Elsevier, 2018)Binary variables have two possible outcomes: occurrence or non-occurrence of an event (usually with 1 and 0 values, respectively). Binary data are common in ecology, including studies of ... -
An approach to quantify climate–productivity relationships: an example from a widespread Nothofagus forest
(Ecological Applications, 2021)Unique combinations of geographic and environmental conditions make quantifying the importance of factors that influence forest productivity difficult. I aimed to model the height growth of ... -
Caracterización básica del relicto de biodiversidad Rucamanque
(Bosque Nativo, 2001)El predio Rucamanque se encuentra situado en la depresión intermedia de la IX Región (Chile), y constituye un ecosistema relicto de los bosques que antiguamente cubrían esta región. Se describen ... -
Evaluation of modeling strategies for assessing self-thinning behavior and carrying capacity
(Ecology and evolution, 2018)Self-thinning and site maximum carrying capacity are key concepts for understanding and predicting ecosystem dynamics as they represent the outcome of several fundamental ecological processes ... -
Growth equations in forest research: mathematical basis and model similarities
(Springer, 2021)Purpose of Review Growth equations have been widely used in forest research, commonly to assess ecosystem-level behavior and forest management. Nevertheless, the large number of growth equations ... -
Height growth–rate at a given height: A mathematical perspective for forest productivity
(Elsevier, 2020)Understanding the height growth of trees is a fundamental component for scientific knowledge and management of forest ecosystems. The height of dominant trees at a reference-age, commonly known ... -
Heterogeneidad estructural y espacial de un bosque mixto dominado por Nothofagus dombeyi después de ...
(Revista chilena de historia natural, 2010)Los bosques dominados por Nothofagus dombeyi están entre las formaciones boscosas naturales más abundantes y productivas de la región templada de Sudamérica. En Chile son comunes los bosques ... -
Un llamado a la activación real de la Sociedad Chilena de Ciencias Forestales
(Bosque, 2020)Aunque en lo formal existe la Sociedad Chilena de Ciencias Forestales (SOCIFOR), creada por un grupo de instituciones ligadas al sector forestal, lamentablemente su inactividad ha debilitado ... -
Métodos estadísticos paramétricos y no paramétricos para predecir variables de rodal basados en Landsat ...
(Bosque, 2010)Los bosques de Araucaria araucana tienen una alta importancia ecológica y científica. Aunque existen varios estudios ecológicos llevados a cabo en bosques de A. araucana, muy pocos han producido ... -
Modelación del crecimiento de bosques: estado del arte
(Bosque, 2016)Forest growth models are key tools for both managing and understanding forest dynamics. These models have evolved from yield tables to models that simulate ecological and physiological processes. ... -
On studying the patterns of individual-based tree mortality in natural forests: A modelling analysis
(Elsevier, 2020)Tree mortality is a critical ecological phenomenon shaping forest ecosystem dynamics, structure, and composition, while its effects are of global relevance due to its relationship with forest ... -
The Forest Sector in Chile: An Overview and Current Challenges
(Journal of Forestry, 2016)Chile has a strong forest sector based on plantations of exotic species and an extensive area of temperate rainforests with unique ecological features and a wealth of biodiversity and endemism. ...
