Abstract
Two differential forms of growth equations, called the power decline, or PD form, and the exponential decline, or ED form, generate classic growth equations (such as the logistic, Chapman–Richards, Korf) and many other integral forms. Having a full range of these integral solutions allows us to classify them, establish requirements to their parameters, and relate these parameters and initial values (starting age and tree size). Comparisons with data confirm theoretical results. Some applications of the results are discussed.Keywords
