Plant growth is an essential ecological process, integrating across scales from physiology to community dynamics. Predicting the growth of plants is essential to understand a wide range of ecological ...

Six non-linear growth functions were fitted to tree height-diameter data of ten conifer species collected in the inland Northwest of the United States. The data sets represented a wide range of tree ...

This paper considers a stochastic shortest path problem where the arc lengths are independent random variables following a normal distribution. In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes ...
