Modelling of Forest Growth Processes with high resolution scale

The development of forest growth processes in Slovakia is main topic of the project. The project is continuous process of development of the empirical model SIBYLA. The model is result of previous work of proposed team during several years. It is a part of long-term intention to improve forest modelling in Slovakia and it concentrates to selected problems. The goal of long-term research is to receive smaller details during growth prognosis at level of space, time and reproduction. The project tends to modelling of tree morphology at spatial level. The project is going to concentrate on spruce. The project tends to modelling of solar radiation during year in canopy at time level. The project tends to modelling of natural regeneration dynamics in space and time depending on mature stand at reproduction level. Mathematical algorithms and their software implementation will be result of the project. The software solution will offer new or modified units Morphologist, Astronomer and Fosterer.
