Summary
Published in Annals of Forest Science 77(2): 38. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13595-020-0929-5
A model describing species composition, density and diameter distribution of saplings was developed from operational inventory data. It could be used as an input into growth models calibrated exclusively with merchantable trees to correct some recruitment bias. Important differences in distributions were found between plantations and naturally regenerated stands. Longer-term monitoring would be required to observe the effects of thinning treatments on saplings.
