Plant population density is an important variable in agronomy and forestry and offers an
experimental way to better understand plant–plant competition. We made a meta‐analysis of …

Abstract Knowledge of the morphological and physiological responses of trees to planting
density is important for adjusting plantation establishment practices to attain the desired size …

Results from seven long-term experiments in the southern US were summarized to
understand production dynamics of intensively managed loblolly pine plantations …

Net primary productivity (NPP) is a key flux in the terrestrial ecosystem carbon balance, as it
summarizes the autotrophic input into the system. Forest NPP varies predictably with stand …

Interactions between thinning, pruning and fertiliser application in forestry are rarely
examined, even though these treatments are often applied simultaneously in practice …

Thinning, pruning and fertiliser application are used by forest managers to increase growth
rates of retained trees and to improve log quality. Understanding whether growth responses …

Stem growth, developmental patterns and canopy relations were measured in a
chronosequence of intensively managed loblolly pine stands. The study was located on two …

We examined the response of growth efficiency (GE), leaf area index (LAI), and resin flow
(RF) to stand density manipulations in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) …

Short-rotation woody crops are an integral component of regional and national energy
portfolios, as well as providing essential ecosystem services such as biomass supplies …

There is an increasing interest in estimating biomass for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and
slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii), two of the most ecologically and commercially …
