Dedicated to everybody who loves forest models

At genesis of forest modelling the three Wise men have operated :
The first has been called BIOLOGIST
and searched for the answer to: „Why tree organs growth?“
He gave to world: algorithm of photosynthesis
Gift has been accepted in disciplines: bioclimatology, ecopedology, plant physiology
Causal models have been established.
The second has been called MATHEMATICIAN
and searched for the answer to: „How the tree is formed in space ?“
He gave to world: fractal
Gift has been accepted in disciplines : formal grammar, fractal geometry, computer graphics
Morphological models have been established.
The third has been called FORESTER
and searched for the answer to: „What benefit is produced by forest?“
He gave to world: regression equation
Gift has been accepted in disciplines : biometry, forest mensuration, forest growth and yield science
Empirical models have been established.

• Modelling of causal relations based on eco-physiological processes: absorption of radiation, pedotransfer functions, hydrological balance, stomatal conductance, transpiration, leaf energy balance, photosynthesis, respiration, phenology processes, allocation • Input: detailed climatic and soil variables, initial biomass, leaf area • Output: carbon and biomass production, variables of eco-physiological processes
7
• Modelling of plant morphology based on plant architecture and organ topology with principles of recursive rules, fractal geometry, L-systems and turtle graphics • Input: initial axiom (structure), growth grammar and parameters of growth grammar • Output: plant morphology in years of prognosis
time
8
• Modelling of forest production based on statistical equations derived from empirical data • Input: biometry variables from forest inventory, description of site conditions • Output: biometry variables

Position in map: I = organ + 3D Typical time scale: hour or day Concept: process-based Description: Eco-physiological tree models simulate processes in individual organs depending on their position in 3D space. Examples of products: BALANCE, TRAGIC, EFIMOD, SPRUCOM, model by Pfreundt
13
Position in map: I = organ + 3D Typical time scale: year Concept: structural Description: Functional-structural plant models simulate development of plant morphology in 3D space based on L-systems and processes in organs. Examples of products : GROGRA, GroIMP, EMILION, LIGNUM
14
Position in map: V = organ + region Typical time scale: hour or day Concept: process-based Description: Big leaf models simulate processes in abstract leaf representing total assimilation rate in modelled unit space. Assimilation rate is homogeneous in unit space. Examples of products : 3-PG, Biome-BGC, CASA, DEMETER, FBM, Forest-BGC, FORSANA, PnET, TEM, Tree-BGC, GOTILWA
15
Position in map: II = individual+2D Typical time scale: year Concept: empirical Description: Distance dependent tree models simulate tree development based on statistical equations derived from empirical data. Competition of trees is dependent on tree positions in 2D space. Examples of products: pure empirical: FOREST, FORMOSAIC, MOSES; semi-empirical: SIBYLA, SILVA, SORTIE
16
Position in map: IV = individual + stand Typical time scale: year Concept: empirical Description: Distance independent tree models simulate tree development based on statistical equations derived from empirical data. Competition of trees is independent on tree positions in 2D space. Examples of products : BWIN, PROGNAUS, STAND PROGNOSIS MODEL, TreeGrOSS
17
Position in map: III = individual + bio-group Typical time scale: year, 5 years or decade Concept: empirical or process-based Description: Gap models simulate development of individual trees in bio-groups of trees on basis of change of generations. Natural succession is achieved by dynamics of bio-groups. Examples of products: FORECE, FORENA, FORET, FORMIND, FORSKA, JABOWA, LINKAGES, NEWCOP, PICUS, SIMA, ZELIG
18
Position in map: III = class + bio-group Typical time scale: year, 5 years or decade Concept: empirical or process-based Description: Cohort models divide bio-groups to homogeneous parts. Parts called cohorts are represented by typical tree and frequencies of trees in cohorts. Examples of products: 4C, FLAM, ForClim, FORMIX
19
Position in map: IV = class + stand Typical time scale: 5 years or decade Concept: empirical Description: Frequency models simulate development of diameter and height structure of stands along the time depending on changed frequency functions. Examples of products: LANDIS, LANDSIM, model by Cluter, Moser, von Gadow, Suzuki, Kouba, Sloboda
20
Position in map: IV = population + stand Typical time scale: 5 years or decade Concept: empirical Description: Stand models (yield tables) describe development of entire stand on basis of site class and age. Conception of even-aged and pure stand is applied with limited management. Examples of products: STAOET, DFIT, model by Curtis, all yield tables (Assmann and Franz, Hamilton and Christie, Vuokila, Schmidt, Lembcke et al., Halaj et al., Petráš et al.)
21
Position in map: V = ecosystem + region Typical time scale: century Concept: empirical or process-based Description: Biome models are static models simulating change of vegetation types (biomes) influenced by changing of environmental conditions (temperatures, precipitation, etc.) during long periods. Examples of products: empirical: model according to Holdridge; process-based: BIOME, DOLY, MAPSS, TVM
