Sawn timber properties of Scots pine as affected by initial stand density, thinning and pruning: a simulation based approach

The aim of this work was to analyze how different management schedules with varying initial stand density, thinning and artificial pruning of branches affect the quality, quantity and value of sawing yield in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). For this purpose, an integrated model syst...
