Soukhovolsky V.G., Ivanova Ju.D. Estimation of the Net Primary Production of Forest Stands with the Model of Phytomass Distribution between Tree Components // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2013. No 5. С.20-28.

Methods of the Net Primary Production (NPP) estimation of forest stands are studied for the range of species and environmental conditions. Methods of NPP estimation using phytomass of tree components and timber volume in stands are proposed. It is shown that Zipf-Pareto equation of relationship between phytomasses of various tree components could be used for the estimation of NPP. The model analogous to the R. Solow's macroeconomic model is proposed proposed for the estimation of a forest stand's phytomass growth.
