Abstract

The forest growth simulator SILVA is single-tree based, tree-position-dependent and age-independent. The model's core algorithm evaluates the three-dimensional structure of forest stands in order to determine inter-tree competition. SILVA is parameterised with a large amount of data from long-term research plots in pure and mixed species forests, mainly from southern Germany. SILVA covers the tree species Norway spruce, Scots pine, silver fir, Douglas fir, common beech and oak. It includes a regeneration submodel and modules for conducting and visualising large regional scenario analyses based on inventory data.
