However, self-thinning relationships are often quantified using only data at a conceptualised self-thinning line, even though self-thinning can begin before the stand actually reaches a self-thinning line. Also, few self-thinning relationships account for the effects of species composition in mixed-species forests, and stand structure such as relative height of species (in mixtures), and/or size or age cohorts in uneven-aged forests. Such considerations may be important given the effects of global climate change and interest in mixed-species and uneven-aged forests. The objective of this study was to develop self-thinning relationships based on changes in the tree density relative to mean tree diameter, instead of focusing only on data for state variables (e.g. tree density) at the self-thinning line. This was done while also considering how the change in tree density is influenced by site quality and stand structure (species composition and relative height). The relationships were modelled using data from temperate Australian Eucalyptus plantations (436 plots), subtropical forests in China (88 plots), and temperate forests in Switzerland (1055 plots). Zero-inflated and hurdle generalized linear models with Poisson and negative binomial distributions were fit for several species, as well as for all-species equations. The intercepts and slopes of the self-thinning lines were higher than many published studies which may have resulted from both the less restrictive equation form and data selection. The rates of self-thinning often decreased as the proportion of the object species increased, as relative height increased (species or size cohort became more dominant), and as site (quality) index increased. The effects of aridity varied between species, with self-thinning increasing with aridity index for Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris, Quercus petraea and Quercus robur, but decreasing with aridity index for Eucalyptus nitens, Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies as sites became wetter and cooler. Self-thinning model parameters were not correlated with species traits, including specific leaf area, wood basic density or crown diameter – stem diameter allometry. All-species self-thinning relationships based on all data could be adjusted using a correction factor for rarer species where there were insufficient data to develop species-specific equations. The approach and equations developed could be used in forest growth models to calculate how the tree density declines as mean tree size increases, as height changes relative to other cohorts or species, as species proportions change, and as climatic and edaphic conditions change.

Context: To understand the dynamics of forest management systems and build adapted growth models for new forestry practices, long-term experiment networks remain more crucial than ever. Aims: Two principles are at the basis of the experimental design of the networks of the Scientific Interest Group Cooperative for data on forest tree and stand growth (GIS Coop): contrasted and extreme silvicultural treatments in diverse pedoclimatic contexts. Methods: Various forest management systems are under study: regular and even-aged stands of Douglas fir, sessile and pedunculate oaks, Maritime and Laricio pines, mixed stands of sessile oak, European silver fir, and Douglas fir combined with other species. Highly contrasted stand density regimes, from open growth to self-thinning, are formalized quantitatively. Results: One hundred and eighty-five sites representing a total of 1206 plots have been set up in the last 20 years, where trees are measured regularly (every 3 to 10 years). The major outputs of these networks for research and management are the calibration/validation of growth and yield models and the drawing up of forest management guides Conclusion: The GIS Coop adapts its networks so that they can contribute to develop growth models that explicitly integrate pedoclimatic factors and thus also contribute to research on the sustainability of ecosystems under environmental and socio-economic changes.

Context : The capacity of forests to store carbon can help to mitigate the effects of atmospheric CO2 rise and climate change. The self-thinning relationship (average size measure ∼ stand density) has been used to identify the potential capacity of biomass storage at a given density and to evaluate the effect of stand management on stored carbon. Here, a study that shows how the self-thinning line varies with species and climate is presented. Aims : Our main objective is thus testing whether species identity and climate affect the self-thinning line and therefore the potential amount of carbon stored in living biomass. Methods : The Ecological and Forest Inventory of Catalonia was used to calculate the self-thinning lines of four common coniferous species in Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula (Pinus halepensis, Pinus nigra, Pinus sylvestris and Pinus uncinata). Quadratic mean diameter at breast height was chosen as the average size measure. The self-thinning lines were used to predict the potential diameter at a given density and study the effect of environmental variability. Results : Species-specific self-thinning lines were obtained. The self-thinning exponent was consistent with the predicted values of −3/2 and −4/3 for mass-based scaling for all species except P. sylvestris. Species identity and climatic variability within species affected self-thinning line parameters. Conclusion : Self-thinning lines are species-specific and are affected by climatic conditions. These relationships can be used to refine predictions of the capacity of different forest stands to increase biomass/carbon storage.

The border line relationship is the self-thinning rule. Despite the importance of both rules for forest management, they have been fit for few species. Aims : The aim of this study is to compare competition-density rule and self-thinning rule in particular with respect to potential density for 15 species from the Austrian National Forest Inventory (ANFI). Methods : The self-thinning line was estimated using quantile regression. The competition-density rule was fit as four- and as three-parameter model, where the fourth parameter was substituted (a) with a specific slope from the self-thinning line estimated from the ANFI and (b) Reineke’s slope (−1.605). Results : Potential density was highest for Austrian pine and Norway spruce, followed by silver fir and Scots pine; it was considerably lower for European larch, stone pine and broadleaf species. Species-specific slopes of the self-thinning line ranged between −1.5 and −2.0 and were significantly different from Reineke’s slope for Norway spruce, European larch and European beech. Conclusions : Using robust estimation techniques, both competition-density rule and self-thinning line can also be fit for minor species, providing an important guide for practical forest management.

Significant differences and curvilinearity in the self-thinning relationships of 11 temperate tree species assessed from forest inventory data / Marie Charru in Annals of Forest Science, Vol 69 n° 2 (March 2012)

Although the self-thinning allometric coefficient has been shown to be species-dependent, estimates available for a given species also differ. Whether this coefficient truly varies across species thus remains an open issue. A potential cause of variation in the coefficient may lie in a departure from the allometric assumption in the self-thinning relationship. Methods : We analysed the species dependence of the self-thinning relationship for 11 temperate and Mediterranean tree species growing in pure and even-aged stands in France based on the French National Forest Inventory (NFI) data. Self-thinning relationships were fitted using a ‘stochastic frontier’ technique. Pairwise comparison tests of the self-thinning allometric coefficients were implemented. We also investigated the allometric nature of the relationship by testing a linear and a curvilinear model of log density against the log quadratic mean diameter. Results : Self-thinning relationships were clearly evidenced from the NFI data and displayed significant differences between species. The curvilinear model was significantly more accurate for 7 out of 11 species and depicted a concave relationship, suggesting a decrease in self-tolerance over ontogeny. Conclusion : As a major finding, the self-thinning relationship significantly varies across species. We emphasise the need to consider a high number of species to show such specific variations in the self-thinning relationship. Another important outcome is that the self-tolerance depends on the developmental stage.
