This fully revised and expanded second edition integrates three main fields of forest ecology and management, i.e. tree\/plant interactions, biometry of plant growth and human behaviour in forests. Adopting a strict bottom-up approach, individual-based forest ecology and management is an interdisciplinary research field with a focus on how the individual behaviour and interactions among plants and between plants and humans contribute to the formation of spatial patterns of communities that evolve over time. This book brings together essential approaches from individual-based forest ecology and management including point process statistics, individual-based modelling, plant growth science and behavioural science with particular emphasis on spatio-temporal patterns and biodiversity. A clear didactic structure, including concise definitions, summaries at the beginning and take-home messages at the end of each chapter enhance the learning experience and accessibility. For ease of access, better understanding and transparency, the methods are accompanied by R code and worked examples, enabling readers to implement and explore the methods directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for upper undergraduate and graduate courses in Forest Science, Ecology, Biology, Biodiversity and Conservation, Computer Science and Ecological Statistics, the book also serves as a valuable reference for researchers and professionals working with individual-based approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eArne Pommerening\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e is Professor of Mathematical Statistics Applied to Forest Sciences at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umeå. He is a theoretical forest scientist and biometrician specializing in quantitative forest ecology and management. He is particularly known for his work on woodland structure analysis and modelling, the spatio-temporal dynamics of plant point patterns, individual-based modelling, plant growth analysis, and methods for quantifying and monitoring biodiversity. More recently, his research has expanded to include the analysis of human behaviour in tree selection. His work typically combines field trials with computer-based simulation experiments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePavel Grabarnik \u003c\/strong\u003ecurrently is Director of the Pushchino Scientific Centre of Biological Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His scientific research is situated in the Laboratory of Ecosystem Modelling and focuses on the mathematical modelling of ecological systems, particularly on the spatial structure of forest ecosystems. His principal contributions to statistics include parameter estimation and hypothesis testing for spatial point processes. He has also developed computational tools supporting applications in spatial statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032326683\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50806356705420,"sku":"9783032326683","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032326683.jpg?v=1781798638","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032326683","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
