Modeling size-density trajectories of even-aged ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) stands in France. A baseline to assess the impact of Chalara ash dieback

Table 3 Stand characteristics estimated by Eq. (1) with the added constraint of alignment of the inflection points parallel to the maximum size-density line, when fitted to the ash data
