Table 1 Stand property–density relationships treated in this review and organized by three major variations in context of time
Stand property–density | Relationship | Source |
|---|---|---|
At a point in time | Competition–density effect | Kira et al. (1953) |
Yield–density effect | Shinozaki and Kira (1956) | |
Growth–growing stock (growth-based) | Long and Smith (1984) | |
Constant final yield (yield-based) | reviewed by Weiner and Freckleton (2010) | |
Over time | Self-thinning trajectory | Yoda et al. (1963) |
Foliage over time | reviewed by Holdaway et al. (2008) | |
Yield over time | Assmann (1970) | |
Growth over time (current or mean annual increment) | Assmann (1970) | |
Independent of time | Log mean size–log density | Reineke (1933) |
Eichhorn’s rule | Eichhorn (1904) |
