This collection of papers, selected from those presented at a June 2002 workshop, reviews current thinking on various models and presents applications in different contexts.Forests and forestryMathematical modelsCongressesForest ecologyMathematical modelsCongressesForest managementMathematical modelsCongressesForests and forestryMathematical modelsForest ecologyMathematical modelsForest managementMathematical models634.9/01/5118Amaro A(Ana),1960-1574720Reed D(David),1956-1574721Soares P(Paula),1967-1574722MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780318203321Modelling forest systems3851134UNINA
