Benchmarking and Calibration of Forest Vegetation Simulator Individual Tree Attribute Predictions Across the Northeastern United States
period (5 years) after updating the individual tree-mortality submodel in FVS’s Southern variant (Radtke et al. 2012). On the other hand, Rijal et al. (2012a, 2012b) recently found refitting FVS-NE tree height and crown ratio equations to be ineffective for improving predictions when compared to utilizing a different equation form for several species in Maine. This suggests that effectiveness o...
متن کاملSpatially nonrandom tree mortality and ingrowth maintain equilibrium pattern in an old-growth Pseudotsuga-Tsuga forest.
Mortality processes in old-growth forests are generally assumed to be driven by gap-scale disturbance, with only a limited role ascribed to density-dependent mortality, but these assumptions are rarely tested with data sets incorporating repeated measurements. Using a 12-ha spatially explicit plot censused 13 years apart in an approximately 500-year-old Pseudotsuga-Tsuga forest, we demonstrate ...
متن کاملThe forest vegetation simulator: A review of its structure, content, and applications
The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a distance-independent, individual-tree forest growth model widely used in the United States to support management decisionmaking. Stands are the basic projection unit, but the spatial scope can be many thousands of stands. The temporal scope is several hundred years at a resolution of 5–10 years. Projections start with a summary of current conditions ev...
متن کاملSecond Forest Vegetation Simulator Conference; 2002 February 12-14; Fort Collins, CO
This paper demonstrates protocols to analyze and illustrate trends in the long-term effects of repeated fire hazard reduction entries at broad state-level scales. The objectives of this analysis are to determine the effectiveness of two stand treatment options designed to immediately reduce and maintain lower wildfire hazards. Long-term effects of fire hazard reduction are reported for and the ...
متن کاملPercent Canopy Cover and Stand Structure Statistics from the Forest Vegetation Simulator
He has been an active participant in the development of the Forest Vegetation Simulator and its extensions since 1978. Estimates of percent canopy cover generated by the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) are corrected for crown overlap using an equation presented in this paper. A comparison of the new cover estimate to some others is provided. The cover estimate is one of several describing sta...
