Abstract

We evaluated the process-based stand growth mode, PipeQual, with the data from the long-term experiments. Slope values between observations and simulations ranged from 0.96 to 1.05 depending on the variable illustrating the applicability of PipeQual for predicting forest stand growth in the future climate.
