Highlights: [•] Data-based validation of a dynamics model for uneven-aged mixed species forests. [•] Over 70-year time-series forest growth dataset used for model validation. [•] Model projected tree density, diameter, basal area and live aboveground biomass. [•] Mean annual diameter growth increments for native species in Callitris forests. [•] Projected attributes were between 88% and 94% of the observed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
