Stand density and growth of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.): evidence from long-term experimental plots (2005, methodology): “The presented model reflects the apparently paradox fact (Zeide 2004) that a thinning which keeps a stand permanently at maximum periodical increment RPAI not at all ensures a maximum CV.”
Height–diameter equations for boreal tree species in Ontario using a mixed-effects modeling approach (2007, result): “…and rate parameters expressed in terms of dominant stand height and TPH/BA (a variable analogous to quadratic mean diameter and possessing the base attributes required to adequately describe stand density, Zeide, 2005), respectively, could improve on previously published results for these species.”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, background): “Stand density is a quantitative measure of the degree of crowding and resulting level of competition existingwithin the stand (Zeide, 2005).”
Comparison of self-thinning models: an exercise in reasoning (2010, background): “Therefore, old fully stocked stands cannot be as dense as younger ones (Zeide 2005).”
