Table 6 Summary statistics of the effect of two different thinning methods (low and selective thinning) in two black pine planted forests (Monte Amiata and Pratomagno) where the total crown volume removed was calculated with the models provided in this study
From: Single-tree crown shape and crown volume models for Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold in central Italy
Location | Thinning type | Removed trees | Basal area | Biomass | Crown volume | PAR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMIATA | Thinning from below |  − 30.4% |  − 19.7% |  − 18.7% |  − 11.2% |  + 133% |
Selective thinning |  − 34.3% |  − 31.9% |  − 30.7% |  − 24.4% |  + 413% | |
PRATOMAGNO | Thinning from below |  − 35.9% |  − 22.6% |  − 19.3% |  − 11.3% |  + 87% |
Selective thinning |  − 30.8% |  − 29.4% |  − 29.7% |  − 21.2% |  + 232% |
