Dynamics of stand density and self-thinning in Chinese fir plantations: theoretical insights and empirical validation by Shisheng Long, Siqi Zeng, Guangxing Wang

“…Additionally, a generalized self-thinning equation, v=kHqN1.0−1 or w=c1HqN1.0−1, was introduced, indicating that in fully stocked stands, tree volume or biomass depends on both tree height and tree count.DiscussionThese findings advance understanding of the maximum size-density law and self-thinning boundary, providing refined tools for managing stand density in Chinese fir plantations.…”
