• Evaluating structural indices by reversing forest structural analysis (2006, background): “Over the past few decades many indices quantifying spatial forest structure have been developed (Pommerening, 2002) though very little work has been undertaken to formally evaluate these new developments (Neumann and Starlinger, 2001).”
• Approaches to quantifying forest structures (2002, background): “At least with some of the variables discussed in this paper the more direct measures of diversity seem to correlate reasonably well (Spanuth, 1998; Neumann and Starlinger, 2001), but the correlation still needs to be verified by further appropriate analysis.”
• Diversity and equitability ordering profiles applied to study forest structure (2012, background): “Although H0 is more widely used as a measure of species mixture of forests (e.g., Motz et al., 2010; Neumann and Starlinger, 2001; Sterba and Ledermann, 2006), many authors have used this index for comparing tree sizes within a single species.”
• An evaluation of different diameter diversity indices based on criteria related to forest management planning (2006, background): “Examples of such studies are evaluations with respect to species diversity in the ground vegetation (Magnussen and Boyle, 1995; Pitkänen, 1998; Neumann and Starlinger, 2001), species diversity in the tree-layer (Neumann and Starlinger, 2001), stand structure (Staudhammer and LeMay, 2001), spatial di”
• Evaluating the behaviour of vertical structure indices in Scots pine forests (2009, background): “A variety of spatial diversity indices have been increasingly used to compare alternative management approaches (Neumann and Starlinger, 2001).”
