Site quality curves for birch stands in north-western Spain

Abstract: Peninsula, these two taxa are freely hybridized, and their taxonomy is somewhat confused, with each possessing a number of different nomenclatural identities (Castroviejo et al. 1990). Of the two taxa, Betula pubescens is the more oceanic, westerly distributed taxon while Betula pendula

“…); for this they need tools for evaluating different management practices and their effects on stand structure. Development of a growth models for the species (Rojo et al, 2005;Diéguez-Aranda et al, 2006) enables promotion of the productive and protective aspects of birch stands in northwest Spain. Diameter class models allow prediction of stand growth and planning of various uses and provide data about stand structure.…”

“…For the qualitative criteria an evaluation of the different candidate models involved visual examination of the residuals against the estimated values and the fitted curves for different site index classes overlaid on the profile plots of the stands. Visual inspection is an essential point in selecting the most accurate model because curve profiles may differ considerably, even though goodness-of-fit statistics are similar (DIÉGUEZ-ARANDA et al, 2006). The models were chosen according to the goodness-of-fit, predictive ability, biological sense and compliance with the assumptions of nonlinear least square method (homoscedasticity, lack of autocorrelation and normality of residuals).…”

“…Many are the models based on the dominant heightage relationship applied to site index curves construction (SCOLFORO; MACHADO, 1988;DIÉGUEZ-ARANDA et al, 2006, DAVID et al, 2015, and those are the basis of most traditional stand-level forest management regimes (RENNOLLS, 1995). Among the techniques available to fit site index curves, most are based on three general methods (CLUTTER et al, 1983): guide curve; parameter prediction, and difference equation methods.…”

“…This requires field tree measurements and the development of models and tools such as height growth models and biomass or volume equations, to represent in a simplified way the complexity of forest ecosystem dynamics (Burkhart & Tomé, 2012). Numerous static (Barrio-Anta et al, 2006;Diéguez-Aranda et al, 2006;Menéndez-Miguélez et al, 2014) and dynamic models (Castedo-Dorado et al, 2007;Crecente-Campo, 2008) are now available for different forest species. These models allow managers to simulate forest dynamics and growth, with the prediction of how forests will be at particular times in the future, helping them to make sound decisions regarding sustainable management.…”
