  1. 1. The growth dynamics of Douglas fir in Sweden and Finland : application of the 3-PG stand growth model

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Wolfgang Nemec; [2014]
    Keywords : Douglas fir ; Pseudotsuga menziesii; Scandinavia; growth dynamics; 3-PG stand growth model; model validation;

    Abstract : Little research has yet been conducted on the growth of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco var. menziesii) in Sweden albeit its potentials as a commercial tree species in the future. Therefore, this study aimed at capturing currently available field and reference data for the purpose of evaluation. READ MORE

  2. 2. Evaluation of process based model 3-PG for simulation of net primary production of Picea abies in northern and southern regions of Sweden under climate change

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Gizachew Tarekegn Getahun; [2012]
    Keywords : 3-PG model; climate change; model evaluation; process based model; Heureka StandWise; Norway spruce; NPP;

    Abstract : The results of this evaluation reveal good performance of 3-PG and seems reasonable to use it for simulation of net primary production in Sweden. Subsequently,the NPP of Picea abies was simulated using 3-PG for 110 years in northern and southern Sweden under climate change. READ MORE

  3. 3. Simulation of Net Primary Production (NPP) of Picea abies in southern Sweden : an analysis based on three forest growth models

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Narayanan Subramanian; [2010]
    Keywords : climate change; modeling; boreal; Elevated temperature increased CO2-concentrations;

    Abstract : The potential Net Primary Production (NPP) under climate change was simulated by using twoprocess based growth models, 3-PG and BIOMASS. Both models were run for two climatescenarios A2 and B2 during the period 2071-2100 and compared with simulations of referenceclimate (1961-1990). READ MORE
