Testing the Performance of Some Competition Indices against Experimental Data and Outputs of Spatially Explicit Simulation Models

Three competition indices were tested against experimental data on the growth of individual trees in mapped forest stands and outputs of spatially explicit, process-based models of competition. The comparison showed the fundamental importance of taking into account the spatial structure of stands an...
