    Increasing carbon sinks through forest management: a model-based comparison for Switzerland with its Eastern Plateau and Eastern Alps

    The Kyoto Protocol brought a new forest function into focus: forests as carbon sinks. This new forest function may lead to new conflicts, because on the one hand, Switzerland has decided to account for forest ...

    Testing the tail–dependence based on the radial component

    Throughout this article we assume that the df H of a random vector (X,Y) is in the max-domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution function (df) G with reverse exponential margins. Therefore, the asympt...

    Penultimate Approximations in Extreme Value Theory

    Under a general von Mises condition and a second order regular variation condition, we derive exact penultimate approximation rates for maxima w.r.t. the variational distance. The approach is not restricted to...

    20th Century Carbon Budget of Forest Soils in the Alps

    Dendrochronological studies and forest inventory surveys have reported increased growth and biospheric carbon (C) sequestration for European forests in the recent past. The potential of concomitant changes in...

    Extrapolating Life Tables to Extreme Life Spans: A Regression Approach Using XPL

    Based on 11 German life tables from 1871 to 1986, we study the change of mortality rates of women over the time for fix ages and apply a regression approach to forecast life tables. In a second step, we extrap...

    Reliability of differing densities of sample grids used for the monitoring of forest condition in Europe

    Concern about the possible deterioration of forest health led to the establishment in the 1980s of inventories of forest condition throughout Europe. International standardisation of the programmes was sought ...
