The structure of forest stands changes over time and under the influence of local
disturbances, these changes are referred as the dynamics of forest stands. Changes in the …

Forest structure is a key element for assessing the ecological functions and services in forest
ecosystems, which can be described and quantified using forest structural indices. This …

The study of forest structure is one of the fundamental and necessary researches to achieve
the objectives of close to nature silviculture. This research was conducted to quantify the …

Forest structure is influenced by natural processes and human interventions. For proper
forest management, some tools are required to study changes made at forest structure. In …

Understanding the structure of a forest is crucial for detecting forest dynamics, describing
ecosystem stability, and designing effective management plans and protection and …

Investigation on structure and dynamics of natural forest ecosystems is an important issue
for silvicultural decisions. The aim of this study was to analyse the dynamics and structure of …

To quantify the structural properties of mixed beech (Fagus orientalis) stand in the middle
stage of succession, a study was carried out in the Kheiroud forest of Nowshahr in …

To study the beech stand dynamics followed by the definition of developmental phases in
natural mixed beech stands, three sample plots, each covering 25 ha, were inventoried in …

The structure of forest stands changes through developmental phases. This study is carried
out in the unmanaged, oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) stands in the north of Iran …

Spatial patterns of trees are important structural characteristics that can provide insights into
forest dynamics and may be related to the development stages of forests. The spatial …
