[mrp_rating_result no_rating_results_text="No ratings yet" before_count="(" after_count=" ratings)"]Benchmarking and Calibration of Forest Vegetation Simulator Individual Tree Attribute Predictions Across the Northeastern United States
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Benchmark and calibrate three submodels of the Forest Vegetation Simulator-Northeast variant (FVS-NE).
Key Findings: An assessment of overall model performance should be conducted if calibrated submodels are used and alternative modeling strategies be explored to better represent the allometry and growth of the important trees species across the northeastern United States.

Problem Addressed: Lack of prediction methods for annual tree height increment and height-to-crown base increment.
Key Findings: There is an advantage to incorporating species as a random effect in individual-tree models and the effectiveness of modeling tree crown recession directly for application in mixed-species forest growth and yield models was demonstrated.

Problem Addressed: Decay status being categorized by visual/structural attributes, not temporal transitions between DWD.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Use a repeated DWD inventory across the eastern US to estimate decay class transitions to inform DWD dynamics across this broad geographic region

Problem Addressed: Distribution of Leaf Area
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Examine species variation in total and vertical distribution of projected leaf area at the individual branch- and tree-levels.
Key Findings: Differences in total and vertical distribution of leaf area exist between species, but significant amounts of their variation are largely accounted for by bole and crown size.

Problem Addressed: Crown Structure
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Test for species differences in maximum branch diameter profile, branch density, and relative branch diameter distribution.
Key Findings: There is a range of variability in key crown structural attributes due to inherent species differences, but models fit across multiple species can perform quite well as the amount of explained variation was relatively high.

Problem Addressed: Precommercial thinning on an even-aged northern conifer stand in Maine
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Examination of stand structure and composition 32 years after treatment.
Key Findings: Early thinning treatments were found to have long-term effects on key stand attributes, even more than 30 years after treatment in areas with mixed species composition and moderate site potential.
