Abstract The „structure “and “diversity” of a forest may be defined by the spatial distribution of
the tree positions, by the particular mingling patterns of the different tree species which occur …

It is widely acknowledged that spatial forest structure is a driving factor behind growth
processes and that forest growth, in return, influences the structural composition of …

For some time, structure indices–quantifying spatial stand structure–have been integrated
into forest research and are used to provide a measure of biodiversity. In addition …

In Europe, concerns regarding the provision of ecosystem services from forests, such as
biodiversity, has led to a widespread conversion from even-aged to close-to-nature forest …

Data from the so-called Level II Plots which were established within the frame of the Pan-
European Programme for Intensive and Continuos Monitoring of Forest Ecosystems were …

This contribution presents a method for describing forest tree species diversity based on the
analysis of tree neighborhoods. The proposed measure of tree species spatial diversity …

The horizontal and vertical stand structure of living trees was examined in a managed and in
a primeval spruce (Picea abies) dominated forest in southern Finland. Tree size distributions …

Many spatial scales are recognised within multi-objective forest management, but relatively
little is known about the effects of current management regimes on biodiversity at a stand …

The study presents an analysis of forest spatial structure and diversity in the Federal State of
Durango where the majority of the forests consist of pure pine stands or pine mixed with oak …

This review begins with an introduction to the need for research into forest reserves and
outlines the main goal of the study, ie to give background information on the project …
