Modeling Natural Disturbances in Tree Growth Model SIBYLA

  • Chapter
Bioclimatology and Natural Hazards

Abstract

Climatic changes belong to very important factors with significant influence on forest structure, stability, and production. During the last 10 years, frequency of natural disasters has been systematically increasing in forest ecosystems. However, not only their frequency has been increased, but also the amount of destroyed wood mass has risen.
