Abstract
Self-thinning and stand density are closely related terms, which rank among the important concepts in forest ecology and silviculture. This chapter explains the principle of self-thinning in a Quercus stand. Stand density and stocking are also explained in silvicultural terms (maximum and minimum growing space and stand density diagrams - Gingrich diagram and others).
