Comparison of methods used in European National Forest Inventories for the estimation of volume increment: towards harmonisation
Thomas Gschwantner,Adrian Lanz,Claude Vidal,Michal Bosela,Lucio Di Cosmo,Jonas Fridman,Patrizia Gasparini,Andrius A. Kuliešis,Stein Tomter,Klemens Schadauer +9 more
TL;DR: The increment estimation methods of European NFIs were explored by means of 12 essential NFI features and indicate various differences among NFIs within the commonly acknowledged methodological frame, setting a basis for harmonisation at the European level which is needed to improve information on forest resources for various strategic processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the implementation of stem volume harmonization by European NFIs, to obtain comparable growing stocks according to five reference definitions, and to compare the different results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed tree diameter increment models that are applicable at the European scale, but still locally accurate, using a dataset of diameter increment observations of over 2.3 million trees from 10 National Forest Inventories in Europe and a set of 99 potential explanatory variables covering forest structure, weather, climate, soil and nutrient deposition.

TL;DR: The main objective of COST Action Usewood was to improve and harmonise data and information from National Forest Inventories (NFIs) on the potential supply of wood resources at European level considering the actual extent.
