FORECAST Climate includes a drought mortality function to capture the potential impacts of prolonged drought events on tree and plant mortality rates.

The productivity index is estimated using numerous models including a stand-level basal area growth model, a height/age function, a mortality function, a stand-volume function and a thinning function.

We propose a survival factor percentage (SFP) defined as a single time parameter resulting from the number of bacteria recovered from seeds after the mortality function reached the plateau for decay, which in some way means when the survival bacterial population stabilized on seeds after inoculation.

For the same species, minimum growth rates of individual trees required for survival (but perhaps not growth) may be lower in mixed stands due to reduced competition, necessitating adjustment and the reduction of thresholds for growth rates before the mortality function of the models predicts that a tree dies and drops out.

Models assuming a gamma-distributed incidence function failed to generate a well-fitting mortality function (Figure 2B and Table 1).

Expected wildfire mortality for large trees was calculated by building flame length mortality functions using the Forest Vegetation Simulator, and subsequently applying these functions to the burn probability outputs.

The NORTHWDS model integrates both the structure of the individual tree model (including tree growth and mortality functions) with a series of ecosystem processes (e.g. competition, site biogeochemistry, small-scale disturbance, deer browsing) and even larger scale events (e.g. catastrophic windthrow) to predict long-term stand dynamics on a 5-year simulation cycle.

In particular, the development and use of month-specific mortality functions is a relatively new approach.

The log cumulative baseline excess mortality functions for both outcomes were modeled using restricted cubic splines with 5 df.

Estimates of exposure (daily temperature) – response (mortality) functions - were expressed as Relative Risks (RR) and their confidence intervals (CI) at 95% for each temperature degree.
