Models for simulating the temporal development of Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) plantations in Hallormsstaður Iceland

Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) is one of the main tree species used in afforestation in Hallormsstaður (65.5ºN and 14.45ºW) and the adjacent area of north-east Iceland. Models for predicting the future growth and yield of managed and unmanaged stands are necessary components of modern forest manage...

description Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) is one of the main tree species used in afforestation in Hallormsstaður (65.5ºN and 14.45ºW) and the adjacent area of north-east Iceland. Models for predicting the future growth and yield of managed and unmanaged stands are necessary components of modern forest management planning systems. Pioneering work was done by Pesonen et al. (2009) in modelling the growth of Siberian larch in Hallormsstaður. However, it was recently discovered that these models may overestimate the growth of dense stands and underestimate the growth variation between trees within a stand. This article reports updated models for Siberian larch based on a larger number of observations, most of which come from permanent sample plots. The new set of models consists of an algebraic difference model for dominant height, individual-tree models for diameter increment and tree height, and a logistic model for tree survival. The new model set was found to have little bias and behave logically in long-term simulations. Síberíulerki (Larix sibirica) hefur verið aðaltrjátegundin í skógrækt á Hallormsstað og innanverðu Austurlandi og Norðausturlandi. Vaxtarföll sem áætla vöxt trjáa eru óaðskiljanlegur hluti af nútíma áætlanakerfi fyrir skógrækt. Án þeirra er ekki hægt að áætla lotulengd skógarins eða hvaða umhirðuaðgerðir skila mestum arði. Frumathuganir á vexti lerkis á Hallormsstað voru gerðar árið 2006 af Pesonen et al. (2009). Samanburður á þeim jöfnum og niðurstöður mælinga á föstum mæliflötum hafa hins vegar leitt í ljós að þær jöfnur ofmeta vöxt í þéttum skógi og vanmeta vaxtarmun á milli trjáa innan skógar. Í þessari grein eru birtar nýjar jöfnur fyrir síberíulerki og eru þær byggðar á stærra gagnasafni frá föstum mæliflötum sem hafa verið mældir frá 10 og upp í 50 ár. Nýju vaxtarjöfnurnar nota algebruföll við útreikninga á yfirhæð, þvermáls- og hæðarvexti einstakra trjáa og logistic aðhvarfsgreiningu til að lýsa sjálfgrisjun skógar.
