{"product_id":"9783642750144","title":"Forest Dynamics : Silvistar: a Comprehensive Monitoring System","description":"\u003cp\u003e§16§No matter what forests are used for, forest managers have to deal with interactions between individual trees and between trees and other forest organisms. To understand these interactions, long-term monitoring of spontaneous forest development is necessary. A complete monitoring system has been developed including a computer package for analysis of long-term observation of forest dynamics. The system's name, \"SILVI-STAR\", is an acronym of SILVIgenesis and Single-tree Three-dimensional Architecture. A method of nested plot data collection on forest architecture and plant species composition has been developed out for monitoring purposes. §04§A Design and Structure of the Monitoring System.- 1 Introduction.- 2 Design of the System.- 3 Data Collection and Data Storage.- B Data Processing.- 4 The Tree Model.- 5 Processing of Primary Tree Characteristics.- 6 Application Programs.- C Examples of System Application.- 7 Reconstruction of Long-Term Cyclic Forest Dynamics.- 8 Reconstruction of Long-Term Non-Cyclic Forest Dynamics.- 9 Monitoring of Forest Dynamics.- 10 Studies of Variables in Different Forest Areas.- 11 Simulations.- D The Potential of SILVI-STAR.- 12 The Monitoring System as a Tool: Some Examples.- 13 Scope for Improvements and Further Development.- Summary.- References.- Species Index.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48773967872235,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":201.41,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783642750144-1.jpg?v=1781726420","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783642750144","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
