TY - JOUR AU - Cao, Quang V. PY - 2014 DA - 2014/10/14 TI - Linking individual-tree and whole-stand models for forest growth and yield prediction JO - Forest Ecosystems SP - 18 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - Different types of growth and yield models provide essential information for making informed decisions on how to manage forests. Whole-stand models often provide well-behaved outputs at the stand level, but lack information on stand structures. Detailed information from individual-tree models and size-class models typically suffers from accumulation of errors. The disaggregation method, in assuming that predictions from a whole-stand model are reliable, partitions these outputs to individual trees. On the other hand, the combination method seeks to improve stand-level predictions from both whole-stand and individual-tree models by combining them.
