Stand Density Indices

Stand Density Index is a quantitative metric in forest mensuration that belongs to the class of stand-level indicators, distinguished by its specific function of expressing the relative stocking of a forest stand as a ratio of the actual number of trees per unit area to the maximum possible number of trees per unit area at a given average tree size, typically used in timber cruising and stand management to assess competition and growth potential.
