Modelling diameter distribution in near-natural European beech forests

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Diameter distribution is an important indicator of stand structure and an input for many forest growth models. It is commonly modelled using theoretical functions, in which distribution parameters are expressed as a function of stand, geo-climatic and other predictors. However, modelling diameter distributions in near-natural forests remains limited, and the influence of geo-climatic factors has not been systematically assessed. Using data from 6759 sample plots, our aims were (i) to develop models of the scale (b) and shape (c) parameters of the two-parameter Weibull function for near-natural beech forests in Slovenia
