Modelling and forecasting timber yield and quality in Europe (MEFYQUE)
SummaryBy increasing understanding of the relationships between site conditions and growth, yield and timber quality for current and future scenarios of atmospheric change, the forecasting system focuses on the provision of renewable resources, the environment and in particular the role of forestry in the carbon cycle.
