Prediction Creation for the Period of 2012–2025 of Kurzeme Region Forests

Abstract

In this paper, algebraic difference equation model
(Kiviste 2009) for forest growth predictions is examined and
adjusted for the use with the data available for Latvian forests.
Calculations of soil 0-horizon for Latvian forest types have been
made. Linear equation creation from database point
approximation has been performed for complete forest stand life
cycle coverage. The adjusted algorithm has been implemented to
predict Kurzeme region forest situation in the year 2025.
Evaluations and updates to the algorithm have been carried out
to optimize the results.
