“…Forest growth simulations can provide insights into forest dynamics, predict forest yields, guide forest management decisions, and analyze the impact of the environment on forests (Huang et al, 2019;Jandl et al, 2013;Weiskittel et al, 2011). To provide additional economic benefits and improve the ecological environment, the whole forest growth process is usually separated into different subprocesses, which have been the focus for forest experts when analyzing changes of forest growth, including tree diameter growth (Adame et al, 2008;Almeida et al, 2010), height growth (Kearsley et al, 2017;Marziliano et al, 2013), crown width growth (Fu et al, 2013;Sharma et al, 2016), volume estimation (Del Río & Sterba, 2009;Neumann & Jandl, 2005), mortality (Bohlman & Pacala, 2012;Zhao et al, 2004), and deforestation (Bavaghar, 2015;Behera et al, 2018). Therefore, based on various modeling methods, including empirical modeling and process modeling, many forest growth models have been built for these subprocesses (Korzukhin et al, 1996;Pretzsch, 2009;Weiskittel et al, 2011;Burkhart & Tomé, 2012;Adams et al, 2013).…”
