Abstract
Besides traditional models for tree volume and growth, other models have been developed in the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI). These models, described briefly in this section, cover four topics: (1) biodiversity indicators, (2) the protective function of the forest, (3) the potential recreational demand and (4) the site quality. These models were developed based on external user requirements and designed to meet actual reporting requirements at the national and international level.
