Has description	GOTILWA+ is a mechanistic deterministic forest growth model that has been implemented to simulate the forest growth processes and to explore how these processes are influenced by climate, tree stand structure, management techniques, soil properties and climate change. GOTILWA+ is an improved version of GOTILWA. GOTILWA+ has been used to explore: the responses of different forest types to water availability, especially in the Mediterranean and other arid or sub arid zones, the effects of Global Change on the forest dynamics, production and Carbon fluxes, as well as the effects of different forest management techniques on the Carbon stocks and fluxes. Nevertheless, the model is general enough to be applied to other forest types. Some applications to Loobos (The Netherlands, temperate Scots pine forest), Hyytiala (Finland, boreal Scots pine forest), Bray (France, temperate Maritime pine forest) have been made. It can be applied to all tree species, deciduous or evergreen, in all regions, boreal, temperate or Mediterranean. With monospecific tree communities.
