Stand development was based on a distance-independent, individual-tree growth model.
The young stand data were collected from 12 well-stocked Norway spruce stands in
southern Finland. Results showed that optimal thinning regimes and rotation period depend
on site quality and initial stand characteristics. At the first thinning, optimal thinning type …
