• Do competition-density rule and self-thinning rule agree? (2014, background): “Since it is the only variable in the model, it is a combined measure of age, site quality and stand treatment (Pretzsch 2005).”
• Influence of initial plant density on sawn timber properties for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) (2014, background): “Many long-term spacing and thinning experiments showed that a stand density reduction below 20– 30 % of the maximum stand density can severely reduce the mean annual increment and total volume yield of forest stands (Pretzsch 2005).”
• Effect of species proportion definition on the evaluation of growth in pure vs. mixed stands. (2014, background): “Dominant height can be understood as a proxy for site quality (compare Condés et al., 2013), and mean diameter as a proxy for age (Pretzsch, 2005).”
• Tamm Review: On the strength of evidence when comparing ecosystem functions of mixtures with monocultures (2015, background): “For example, moderately thinned monocultures in central Europe often grow 10–20% more than unthinned stands (Pretzsch, 2005).”
• Effect of wide spacing on increment and branch properties of young Norway spruce (2006, background): “Pretzsch 2005 ). In thinning experiments, removing up to 50% of the growing stock has not resulted in marked reductions in volume increment per hectare (Abetz 1976b; Eriksson and Karlsson 1997; Ma¨ kinen and Isoma¨ ki 2004).”
• Drought can favour the growth of small in relation to tall trees in mature stands of Norway spruce and European beech (2018, background): “So, their elimination may hardly improve the growth of the dominant trees but lower the total stand growth as described by Pretzsch (2005).”
