Resumo(s)
The Portuguese national forest strategy (Direcção Geral dos Recursos Florestais, 2006) proposed a specialization of the Portuguese forest territory according to three main functions:
wood production, multifunctional systems and protected areas. Wood production is mostly related with pure even-aged stands of two species, the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster, Ait.)
and the blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.). Sustainable forest management of these productive areas requires adequate prediction of wood stocks and growth. An annual
individual tree survival and growth model is presented for pure even-aged stands of maritime pine in Portugal, using data with irregularly spaced measurement intervals and
considering thinning effects. The model is distance-independent and assuming variable rates of growth and survival.
