Diversity and equitability ordering profiles applied to study forest structure (2012, methodology): “It may be the case that just practical criteria needs to be taken into account, such as their discriminant ability and capacity for ordering in a logical ranking (Lexerød and Eid, 2006; Staudhammer and LeMay, 2001).”
Generalizing predictive models of forest inventory attributes using an area-based approach with airborne LiDAR data (2015, methodology): “The Gini coefficient is used to measure tree size heterogeneity within a forest stand (Lexerød & Eid, 2006).”
Estimating percentile-based diameter distributions in uneven-sized Norway spruce stands using airborne laser scanner data (2007, background): “Lexerød & Eid (2006) calculated GC for 16 simulated diameter distributions and found realistic ranges of different diameter diversity indices for normal, uniform and reverse-J diameter distribution.”
Relationships between stand growth and structural diversity in spruce-dominated forests in New Brunswick, Canada. (2009, methodology): “Index Equation Description Tree species diversity index Hs ¼ Xm i¼1 pi log pi, where pi is the proportion of basal area for the ith species and m is the number of species Shannon–Wiener index for species (Magurran 2004) Tree size diversity index Hd ¼ Xd i¼1 pi log pi; where pi is the proportion of b”
Modelling tree size diversity from airborne laser scanning using canopy height models with image texture measures (2013, background): “In particular, tree size diversity (TSD) has been shown to be a useful attribute for characterising vertical structure because it is straightforward to conceptualise, understand and calculate (Lexerod and Eid, 2006).”
A forest management planning tool to create highly diverse uneven-aged stands (2011, background): “Recent researches (Lexerød and Eid, 2006; O’Hara et al., 2007; Duduman, 2009) have related the particular usefulness of Gini index and its potential in assessing the structural diversity of a forest stand (Lundqvist, 2004).”
