Is leaf area of Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) and European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) affected by mixture proportion and stand density?
By Erwin Dreyer On 12 February 2017 In Research paper
Trees with otherwise equal dimensions have different leaf areas if they are located in different stand types. While leaf area of European larch is affected by mixture proportion, leaf area of Norway spruce is affected by stand

Reconstructing forest canopy from the 3D triangulations of airborne laser scanning point data for the visualization and planning of forested landscapes
By Erwin Dreyer On 12 February 2017 In Research paper
We present a data-driven technique to visualize forest landscapes and simulate their future development according to alternative management scenarios. Gentle harvesting intensities were preferred for maintaining scenic values in a test of eliciting public’s preferences based on

Disturbance severity and canopy position control the radial growth response of maple trees in forests impacted by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis)
By Erwin Dreyer On 12 February 2017 In Research paper
Radial growth of silver and red maples was investigated across three forests in northwest Ohio following the outbreak of the invasive emerald ash borer. The growth response of maples was driven by an advancement in canopy class

Improving prediction accuracy and selection of open-pollinated seed-lots in Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden using a multivariate mixed model approach
By Erwin Dreyer On 29 November 2016 In Research paper
Multivariate mixed models can be used to combine complex data into a single-step analysis to improve prediction accuracy of open-pollinated seed lots for all attributes and candidates, and identify elite seed lots. Abstract Data available for genetic

Hierarchical model-based inference for forest inventory utilizing three sources of information
By Erwin Dreyer On 29 November 2016 In Research paper
The study presents novel model-based estimators for growing stock volume and its uncertainty estimation, combining a sparse sample of field plots, a sample of laser data, and wall-to-wall Landsat data. On the basis of our detailed simulation,
