Climate and nitrogen deposition constrain the maximum size-density boundary for mature and old-growth stands

Forest stocking guidelines traditionally reference self-thinning lines representing the tradeoff between maximum trees per unit area vs. maximum mean tree size for even-aged stands. While self-thinning lines are roughly linear on logarithmic scales, certain forest types display a curvilinear “mature...
