Abstract
1. A system of equations was developed to describe the reciprocal effects of stand density and quadratic mean diameter through time, by use of data from a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantation. 2. These equations were based on the self-thinning rule, which regulates an overcrowded population by imposing a maximum mean tree size for a given stand density. 3. The system explained 98% of the variations in surviving tree number and quadratic mean diameter, and should provide reasonable extrapolation.
