BackgroundIn pine plantations, shading following canopy closure reduces the growth of competing vegetation. However, canopy closure is not always achieved if low initial planting density, pruning and thinning are practised. This means that complete shading does not occur, resulting in stands with potentially competitive levels of under-canopy veget...

We contribute to the discussion of an article where Andrea Cerioli, Marco Riani, Anthony Atkinson and Aldo Corbellini review the advantages of analyzing multivariate data by monitoring how the estimated model parameters change as the estimation parameters vary. The focus is on robust methods and their sensitivity to the nominal efficiency and break...

Abstract Gallring med små maskiner är märkbart dyrare än med normalstora maskiner. I dagsläget är inte efterfrågan på små maskiner kartlagd, vilket innebär att skogsföretagen inte känner till hur stor del av skogsägarna som vill gallra med små maskiner istället för normalstora maskiner. Syftet med studien var att undersöka efterfrågan hos privata s...

The Mediterranean evergreen oak coppices of Southern Europe are increasingly vulnerable to drought because of both the ongoing climate change that increases drought length and intensity, and the lack of forest management that induces a structural aging of the stands. Decreasing stand density through thinning has been widely regarded as a means to i...

In this paper, we are interested in the exact simulation of a class of piecewise deterministic Markov processes. We show how to perform an efficient thinning algorithm depending on the jump rate bound. For different types of bounds, we compare theoretically the efficiency of the algorithm (measured by the mean ratio between the total number of jump...

We study the interplay between additivity (as in the Cauchy functional equation), subadditivity and linearity. We obtain automatic continuity results in which additive or subadditive functions, under minimal regularity conditions, are continuous and so linear. We apply our results in the context of quantifier weakening in the theory of regular vari...

Adaptation to climate change has become a more serious concern as IPCC assessment reports estimate a rise of up to 2°C in average global temperatures by the end of the century. Several recently published studies have underlined the importance of forest management in mitigating the impacts of climate change and in supporting the adaptation capacity ...

Exogenous application of abscisic acid (ABA) can cause fruit abscission. ABA indirectly reduces carbon assimilation via stomatal closure, but may also induce abscission directly through hormone action. Variable thinning of pear suggests an effect of light environment on ABA efficacy. We tested the hypothesis that combinations of ABA and shade will ...
