Do Stands Self-Thin Through a Common Point? An Additional Concept for the Self-Thinning Rule

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(2), P. 199 - 199

Once the steady and ongoing mortality of individuals in a plant population has started, widely accepted ‘self-thinning rule’ holds; this maintains that set progressive average sizes plants their residual stocking densities bear constant relationship to each other. This work aimed quantify self-thinning processes monospecific Eucalyptus obliqua L’Hér. forest using data from plots Tasmania, Australia. Unexpectedly, it was found that, with or without extrapolation, lines all tended intersect near common size density. finding extended previously published for forests seven other tree species spread across world, five hardwood two softwood. All showed same phenomenon. Whilst adds new concept existing rule, no immediate explanation could be offered as why occurs. It concluded will require studying various mechanisms determine growth behavior, competitive interactions between resources requires site (light, water, mineral nutrients), how these lead smaller, less competitively successful individuals.
