Compatibilización del crecimiento orgánico, estructura poblacional y mortalidad: aplicación para el árbol tropical Otoba gracilipes - Del Valle Arango, Jorge Ignacio
Resumen: En este artículo se propone un método indirecto para deterninar tanto el coeficiente de mortalidad exponencial (l.) como la mortalidad anual (m) deduciéndolos matemáticamente de un modelo de crecimiento orgánico (von Bertalanffy) y de un modelo de estructura poblacional disctáneo (Licourt y Meyer) empleado en árboles• forestales, el cual relaciona la frecuencia de los individuos -por clase de tamaño. Las ecuaciones obtenidas permiten determinar A o m de manera discreta, instantánea o promedia entre dos edades cualesquiera t1 y t2. Se emplean ambos conceptos de morltaiidad a sendos cálculos de dvida media (t0,5) en función de A y m....
