Representing differential growth among Douglas-fir families by using heritable traits as predictor variables.

Modeling soil and climatic mechanisms driving Douglas-fir tree and stand growth.

Refining empirical modifiers for direct thinning effects on Douglas-fir height and diameter growth in ORGANON and CIPSANON.

Modeling soil and climatic mechanisms driving Douglas-fir growth responses to thinning and fertilization.

Refining empirical modifiers for direct fertilization effects on Douglas-fir height and diameter growth in ORGANON and CIPSANON.

Approaches to simulating dynamics of competing vegetation in Douglas-fir growth models (CIPSANON).
