TY - JOUR AU - Drakatos, Panagiotis A. AB - Abstract This paper considers the issues regarding the design and analysis of growth dynamics models for forest tree species irrigated with processed wastewater. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is applied to estimate and analyze features of the growth dynamics models. Linear models of tree species growth dynamics are obtained for different irrigation cases with the GMDH algorithm COMBI. It is shown how to build a general model with varying chemical content of irrigation water, on the basis of a pair of models describing irrigation cases with non‐varying water content. General models are also employed to assess optimal irrigation conditions of tree growth. The paper is based on the experimental results for Pinus Brutia tree obtained in the Laboratory of Special Mechanical Engineering of Patras University.
