However, few studies have rigorously and adequately considered autocorrelation as a primary factor contributing to growth depensation. The aim of this study was to investigate diameter growth in tree species from the Chocó biogeographic region. We used tree-ring data corresponding to 38 trees and 5 species.

ARIMA specifications were included in the residual terms to account for autocorrelation. The estimated parameters allowed us to calculate ontogenic traits and silvicultural metrics for each species.

Autocorrelation patterns on residuals showed a stochastic trend and were investigated by correlation structures of ARIMA(1,1,0) and ARIMA(2,1,0).

However, despite the current literature offering good theoretical frameworks, most of them lack of a description of the minimum time required by the organisms to develop to the next life stage. This problem leads to an overestimation of the population and to a compression of the peaks of the generations, hindering their application in real scenarios. In this study we provide a new general model based on Delay Differential Equations (DDE) that overcomes the problem of the minimum development time by introducing time-dependent delays. Those delays generally depend not only on the biology of the species, but on time and on the environmental conditions. This theoretical extension has new implications from the parameter estimation point of view, which are discussed with the support of a case study of agronomic relevance: the brown marmorated stink bug <em>Halyomorpha halys</em>. Besides supporting the description of the model, the case of <em>H. halys</em> was also considered to validate the model using datasets from two geographical locations, for an overall of 5 fields.

As a result, the forest's tree composition has changed, as evidenced by the declining abundance of typical floodplain species—like pedunculate oak <em>(Quercus robur)</em>—which play an important role in maintaining biodiversity. Notably, oak is not naturally regenerating in the mature forest, situating a need for management intervention to assist oak regeneration. One such management intervention is to plant oak in femels, i.e. small-scale clearings, or canopy gaps. However, it remains unclear whether small femels (<0.5 ha) can ensure effective oak regeneration. Moreover, city foresters aim at reaching 40 % average oak cover in the forest overstory by planting oaks in femels, but uncertainty remains regarding how much of the area would have to be planted with oaks per year to reach this goal.</div><div>To explore these questions, we collected forest inventory data from oak femels ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 ha in size and compared oak density, size, growth, and mortality across femel sizes.
