Robert O. Curtis

Open full text 174 citations

Abstract

Abstract The expression RD = G/(Dg ½ ), where G is basal area and Dg is quadratic mean stand diameter, provides a simple and convenient scale of relative stand density for Douglas-fir, equivalent to other generally accepted diameter-based stand density measures. Forest Sci. 28:92-94.
