This modelling approach predicts individual tree growth using only one-time observations from temporary plots. A virtual dataset was generated by linking the whole stand and diameter distribution models. The individual tree model was parameterized using Bayesian calibration and a likelihood of diameter distributions. Context A key component of tree-level growth and...
