Abstract

BARRETO, Luís Soares. The Global Yield, and Allometry of Self-Thinned Mixed Forests: A Theoretical and Simulative Inquiry. Silva Lus. [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.1-2, pp.83-103. ISSN 0870-6352.

The author uses his theory for mixed stands, and his model BACO2 for tree competition to clarify the global yield, and allometry of self-thinned even-aged mixed stands with two species. He analyses the effects of the competitive hierarchy, initial proportions of the species, and the relative size of the trees of the two competitors. He extends the results to self-thinned uneven-aged mixed stands.

Keywords : Allometry; competitive hierarchy; global stand biomass; self-thinned mixed stands.
