Sobachkin D.S., Ben'kova A.V., Sobachkin R.S., Ben'kova V.E. Distribution of Trees According to Biometric Characters in Natural and Artificial Young Pine Forests // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2013. No 6. С.17-25.

The results of analyzing a density series of tree distribution according to diameter, height, and crown length in young pine forests of natural and artificial origin are presented. With raising the stand density, the structure of natural cenoses (diameter, height, and crown length) was shown (using smoothing Pearson distributions ?2) to become uniform faster than that of artificial stands. Total regularities of changes in the tree distribution by biometric characteristics related to density in the natural and artificial young pine forests were revealed. These regularities are shown to be used in young forests of the same age group that are formed in similar forest types. They may be applied for predicting the results when silvicultural measures are carried out through the regulation of forest density.
