Determining maximum stand density index in mixed species stands for strategic-scale stocking assessments (2005, methodology): “This methodology, known both as the additive method and the summation method, has been extensively discussed, from Stage’s (1968) initial work to contemporary discourses (Shaw, 2000; Ducey and Larson, 2003).”
Does biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests. (2014, background): “SDI is defined in stands with non-Gaussian diameter distributions as: SDI ¼ RtphiðDBHi=25Þ 1:6 ðB:1Þ where DBHi is the midpoint of the ith diameter class (cm) and tphi is the number of trees per hectare in the ith diameter class (Shaw, 2000).”
