Fig. 4From: The influence of initial and post-thinning stand density on Douglas-fir branch diameter at two sites in New ZealandThe predicted crown profile for a tree of average DBH in a stand at Kaingaroa (a) where the initial stand density was 1666 stems ha−1 and the stand density after any thinning was 250, 500, 750 or 1666 stems ha−1. For Ribbonwood (b), an initial stand density was 1666 stems ha−1 was used for comparative purposes and the stand density after any thinning was 250, 500, 750 or 1666 stems ha−1 Back to article page
