Abstract

For the forest manager，forest structure，composed of spatial and non-spatial structures，is an important frame of reference. Each structural type has its own operational method. When used to describe the average characteristics of a stand，the non-spatial method is not bound by the relative location of the trees，whereas the spatial method must take the location of trees into account. In the article the q ratio，development of a stand structural model using diameter，nearest-neighbor indices，and spatial statistical methods are summarized. These methods determine stand structure using diameter，location and size，distribution pattern，species isolation level，relationships between spatial structures，and so on. Finally，issues needing further study were discussed. ［Ch，3 tab. 68 ref.］
