The Importance of Using Permanent Plots Data to Fit the Self-Thinning Line: An Example for Maritime Pine Stands in Portugal

Density-dependent mortality occurs in the evolution of even-aged populations when these approach crown closure age. This density-dependent mortality is regulated by the so-called “3/2 power law of self-thinning” that assumes a constant slope for the line relating the log of stand density with the lo...
