Abstract

Data from 190 CFI plots located in southern and west-central Indiana are used to develop a stand density diagram for sawtimber-sized mixed upland hardwoods in the Central States. The stand density diagram utilizes the concepts of self-thinning to establish a maximum size-density curve, and the stocking standards of Gingrich (1967) to formulate imtermediate stocking levels.
