Stand spatial structure and productivity based on random structural unit in Larix principis‐rupprechtii forests

Ecosphere
Stand spatial structure plays a key role in forest management, and in particular the random structural unit, comprising random tree and its neighbors, largely determines forest stability and its productivity.

Stand spatial structure promotes tree growth and sapling diversity in northern tropical karst seasonal rainforest

Frontiers in Plant Science
Stand spatial structure and sapling diversity are essential for maintaining ecosystem stability. However, the dynamic characteristics of stand spatial structure, its driving factors, and its influence on sapling diversity remain unclear.

The Effect of Stand Density, Biodiversity, and Spatial Structure on Stand Basal Area Increment in Natural Spruce-Fir-Broadleaf Mixed Forests

Forests, 2022
Forest trees exhibit a large variation in the basal area increment (BAI), and the variation is attributed to the stand density, biodiversity, and stand spatial structure.

Spatial Structure Indices of Mature Pedunculate Oak Stands in NW Croatia [PDF]

South-East European Forestry, 2013
Background and Purpose: In order to potentiate a valid comparison of forest stands, numerous indices were developed to express forest structure numerically. Each of those indices described a specific measured or calculated value.
