There are many theoretical approaches to modelling forest systems, but not all of them have valid practical applications. this book reviews current thining on various models and presents applications in several contexts. Chapters have been selected and developed from papers presented at a workshop held in Portugal in June 2002. The topics covered include: forest reality and modelling strategies; mathematical apporaches and reasoning; estimation processes and models; validation and decision making under uncertainty; and model archives and metadata. The book will be of significant interest to those in areas of forestry, applied ecology, and statistics and economics.
