Abstract Purpose of Review The objective quantification of stand density (SD) is necessary
for predicting forest dynamics over space and time. Despite the development of various …

The maximum size-density relationship (MSDR) reflects the boundary site occupancy and
the self-thinning line for a given species, being a useful tool in forestry. Studies focusing on …

Maximum stand density index (SDImax) is an important factor controlling stand dynamics
that varies by species and region, but less is understood how it differs within a region for a …

The extent and severity of recent native bark beetle (Dendroctonae) outbreaks in western
North America have created a pressing need for forest managers to understand potential …

We examine maximum size–density relationships (MSDR) of pure and mixed stands of
trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) …

Abstract The Auburn University campus in Auburn, Alabama, served as a site for a case
study evaluating the applicability of i-Tree Eco to complete a 100% tree inventory. The 2009 …

The self-thinning rule is fundamental in regulating maximum stocking and constructing stand
density management diagrams. Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) is the …

The self-thinning rule has played a critical role in controlling stand stocking and modeling
stand development in forest stands. Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is a native and …

Process-based forest growth models with spatially explicit representation are relevant tools
to investigate innovative silviculture practices and/or climate change effects because they …

Appropriate management of stand density is necessary to avoid wasted growing space and
overcrowding-induced self-thinning and therefore to optimize profitability. We developed a …
