Abstract
A statistically unbiased system of equations is used to describe self-thinning and stand development in western red cedar ( Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) stands. Data include natural stands and plantations (thinned and unthinned). A stand average growth model is derived for the natural stands. A stand density diagram framework is developed that relates net standing volume to stem survival. Height and diameter isolines are overlain on the diagram as are approximate points of crown closure, maximum current annual and mean annual increment. The stand density diagram forms a graphical tool to assist in stand management.
