TL;DR: The conceptual information about the National Forest Inventory and Monitoring in Slovakia is presented in this article, where the authors introduce some methodological approaches to the field data collection (determination of tree heights by two-phase method, regression formulas for tree volumes and assortments of forest tree species, quantification of deadwood volume in sample plots) and biometrical models prepared for data processing and generalisation of the results.

Abstract: The work presents the conceptual information about the National Forest Inventory and Monitoring in Slovakia. It introduces some methodological approaches to the field data collection (determination of tree heights by two-phase method, regression formulas for tree volumes and assortments of forest tree species, quantification of deadwood volume in sample plots) and biometrical models prepared for data processing and generalisation of the results. The design and conception of Slovak National Forest Inventory and Monitoring were set with the aim to enable providing complex and integrated information about the state and changes of production and ecological characteristics of the forest ecosystems.

Individual tree crown width models for Norway spruce and European beech in Czech Republic
TL;DR: In this paper, both spatially explicit and spatially non-explicit individual tree crown width models were developed for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) using a large dataset from fully stem-mapped permanent research plots (PRPs) located in various parts of the Czech Republic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a comprehensive methodological approach for identifying primary forests, and tested it within one of Europe's hotspots of primary forest abundance: the Carpathian Mountains.

Modelling crown width–diameter relationship for Scots pine in the central Europe
TL;DR: In this article, a mixed-effects model with the random effect parameters estimated from crown width measurements of a sub-sample of four randomly selected Scots pine trees per sample plot is suggested for application.

Modelling individual tree height–diameter relationships for multi-layered and multi-species forests in central Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized nonlinear mixed-effects height-diameter (H-D) model was proposed for estimating forest yield and biomass, and simulation of the vertical stand structures.
