Status: In development | Version: v1.0.0 (2026-08-28)

General description

  • Description: Static stand model for the main pure stands of coniferous and deciduous species in Castilla y Le贸n (Spain)
  • Target Species: Pinus sylvestris, Pinus pinaster (codes: 21, 26)
  • Application Region: Castilla y Le贸n (Spain)

Technical characteristics

  • Model Level: Stand
  • Allows Projection: No
  • Projection Time Step: 0 years
  • Notes: This model receives PNOA LiDAR variables as input variables.

To view the step-by-step sequence of initialization, time projection, and harvest, see the stand-level model calculation flow diagram.
