3 L origine In 2000 it was formally stated*, by the UTAD s researchers and by the Forest Services technicians the need to dispose of a new model for maritime pine stands in North Portugal to help for forest management. Atlantic Ocean Spain Tâmega s Valley North Portugal ( ha ) 37% Forest Area 2/3 Maritime pine ( ha ) Baldios (communales areas) owned by the local populations co-managed by the oficial forest services *C.P. Marques, et al Maritime pine stands management in the Tâmega Valley. Research and Developing Project PAMAF 4004 ( ) Final Report, UTAD.
4 L origine Available forest growth and yield models: Site Index and Dominant Height Growth Curves (Marques, 1987) PBRAVO stand model with diameter distribution (Weibull function) (Páscoa, 1989; calibrated version for Tâmega s Valley by Duarte, 1991) Stand Yield Tables (Moreira and Fonseca, 2002) Main desirable features of the new model: Easy of use for Inventory update & Thinning simulation Simulation of yield by diameter classes Inclusion of a Mortality module The name: Model with diameter distribution for Pinus pinaster
5 Conception Inventory data Stand at age t (hd, G, N, dg) Diameter distribution G and N reduction Jump in dg Yes Thinning? No G and hd growth N evolution Removals evaluation Stand at t age after thinning Diameter distribution t = t + i G and hd growth N evolution Stand at age t + i Diameter distribution
6 Inclusion of a Mortality module Wind damages (estimated to occur in the region 6 years each decade): tree leaning, uprooting and stem breakage Mortality records (41 in the 121 permanent plots monitorized) Wind and competition related
7 Inclusion of a Mortality module Periodicity Periodicity (0.6 (0.6 year year -1 ) -1 ) Protection Protection Root Root Depht Depht Relative Relative spacing spacing (RS (RS 0.20) 0.20) Mortality Mortality pp I I Terrain Terrain direction direction Taper Taper (Dominant (Dominant trees) trees) Terrain Terrain slope slope Wind and snow damages Density Density (maximum (maximum density density line) line) Probability of occurrence Other causes Time Time interval interval Mortality Mortality pp OC OC Recent Recent cut cut (N (N t ) t ) Survival N 2 = f (N 1, t 1, t 2, RS ) Recent Recent mortality mortality
8 Simulations Aplicação by diameter do SCC classes ao pinhal Diameter bravo do distributions Vale do quite Tâmega diverse 121 stands (stand age ranges from years) 2/3 Regular 5 classes and s d 5.5 cm /3 Irregular 6 classes de d or s d > 5.5 cm sd = 6.9 cm sd = 12.2 cm sd = 6.1 cm
9 Simulations by diameter classes Diameter distributions quite diverse Diameter distribution model Theoretical knowledge shows and empirical studies corroborate that the four-parameter Johnson s SB PDF provides greater generality in fitting diameter distributions than many of the commonly applied PDFs in forestry, such as the beta, gamma, and Weibull PDFs Normal 3 β Johnson SB distribution β Weibull S U Log-normal Impossible region S B Gamma System of distributions proposed by Johnson (1949): S U, S L e S B

14 Implementation (June 2009, at AMAP) François de Coligny
15 L implementation Why Capsis 4? Good reputation of the supporting institutions (e.g. INRA) Secure platform (confidence on perennity) Professional and technical support by the Developers Easy to run in different operative systems (Windows, MacOSX, Linux) Free software + all the properties of using Java language (easier than others, free, easier for distribution, stable) Use of existing extensions model improvement Easy to share the model with the forest managers Easy to do simulations within the Capsis platform
16 Implementation Minimal Input Homogeneous stands, by default Merchantibility limits, set by the user To improve the initialization of stand variables
17 Evolution
18 Diameter distributions & Volumes
19 Thinning Interactive procedure (low, high, mixed) or automatic procedure (Alder s thinning algorithm), or both
20 Mortality Before and after
21 Implementation What was the contribution of ModisPinaster to Capsis? Jonhson S B distribution model LM code now available in a Capsis library A new thinning algorithm option trees cut according to trees size and to thinning weight Mortality module mortality related to wind mortality related to density 11ème journée Capsis, 24 June 2009, Montpellier P I N A S T E R
