Analiza regenerarii padurii: perspective statistice si informatice
  The regeneration of forest resources is one of the main objectives of modern forest management. The present book is based on my personal PhD thesis and aims to identify detailed features of the regeneration process and the characteristics of sapling interaction. The research involved evaluation of regeneration structure, dimensional differentiation of saplings, spatial pattern analysis - sapling aggregation and species association, and sapling competition using distance-dependent methods. A new distance-dependent dimensional differentiation index (IDIV) and a new geometrical criterion for selecting neighbouring competitor saplings were created and applied. Appropriate methods and techniques were identified for investigating regeneration and computer technology was used intensively. Nine stand-alone software programs were produced in order to achieve the objectives of the thesis.
