Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, methodology): “Kiernan et al. (2008) found that the ratio of BAL /BA, which is analogous to Stage’s (1973) percentile in the basal area distribution, was inferior to BAL, while Schr€oder and von Gadow (1999), as well as Corral Rivas et al. (2005), indicate that multiplying BAL /BA by relative spacing was more effe”
A Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Height-to-Diameter Ratio Model for Several Tree Species Based on Czech National Forest Inventory Data (2019, background): “The inter-tree spacing determines crown shape, crown size, height-to-crown base, and increments of height and diameter attained by trees [55,60,77,101].”
Experiment designs to evaluate inter- and intra-specific interactions in mixed plantings of forest trees (2006, background): “Hegyi’s (1974) index is one of several competition indices that can be used to characterise local competition (Vanclay 1994; Mailly et al. 2003; Rivas et al. 2005), and is computed as the sum of the distance-adjusted relative size ([hi/hj]/distanceij) of potential competitors i within a defined sear”
Growth and Species Interactions of Eucalyptus pellita in a Mixed and Monoculture Plantation in the H (2006, background): “Of many point-based density indices that have been proposed (Rivas et al. 2005), Hegyi's index (1974) was found to offer the best correlation with individual tree diameter increments.”
