Modelling forest systems /

This book, containing 34 papers presented at a workshop held in Portugal in June 2002, reviews current thinking on various models and presents applications in several contexts in relation to forest ecosystems. Topics covered include: forest reality and modelling strategies; mathematical approaches a...
