Quantifying the effect of non-spatial and spatial forest stand structure on rainfall partitioning in mountain forests, Southern China

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 2018
Forest stand structure plays an important role in rainfall interception and is a focal point in forest hydrology. Previous studies mainly looked at the effect of non-spatial attributes of stands while a few studies addressed the influence of spatial ...

Effects of Stand Spatial Structure on Soil Enzyme Activities in Chinese Fir Plantations in the Mid-Subtropical Zone of China

open access: yesPlants
Soil enzyme activities regulate organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling and are widely used as indicators of microbial functioning and ecosystem processes. However, the mechanisms underlying their spatial heterogeneity, particularly the role of

The influence of sampling unit size and spatial arrangement patterns on neighborhood-based spatial structure analyses of forest stands

open access: yesForest Systems, 2016
Aim of the study: Neighborhood-based stand spatial structure parameters can quantify and characterize forest spatial structure effectively. How these neighborhood-based structure parameters are influenced by the selection of different numbers of nearest ...

Stand structure and spatial pattern of trees in mixed Hyrcanian Beech forests of Iran [PDF]

open access: yesتحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2007
Mixed beech forests (Fagus orientalis) are the most important forests with the highest degree of naturalness in Hyrcanian forest of Iran. These forests commonly dominate by shade tolerance species with irregular and uneven-aged stand structure.

Evaluation of Spatial Structure and Homogeneity of Bamboo and Broad-Leaved Mixed Forest

open access: yesForests
Bamboo and broad-leaved mixed forest is a kind of forestry management that can effectively improve the ecology of bamboo forests. The aerial structure of the stand can reflect the growth status of the stand, as well as the spatial structure of the stand ...

STAND STRUCTURE AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF TREES AT DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES AND STAND LAYERS IN MIXED STANDS IN ARTVIN REGION, TURKEY [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2020
The objective of this study is to determine the stand structure and spatial distribution patterns in rare mixed stands of Oriental spruce (Picea orientalis L.), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Caucasian fir (Abies nordmanniana (Stev.) Spach. subsp.

Stand structure influences understory plant diversity through soil factors: three afforestation types of Masson’s pine in the upper Yangtze River, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
PurposeIn general, mixed forests have the potential to enhance understory plant diversity. However, the effects of stand spatial structure formed by different types of mixed afforestation on understory plants communities are still not clear.MethodsTo ...

SPATIAL STAND STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF ULUDAĞ FIR FORESTS IN THE NORTHWEST OF TURKEY

open access: yesApplied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2020
Forest structural characteristics, which are one of the key determinants of species and habitat diversity, have also been used as a constitutive factor in sustainable forest management. This study aimed to analyse the spatial structure (Clark-Evans, segregation and species mingling) of pure fir (7 plots, 1000-1600 m a.s.l.), fir dominated (5 plots ...
