How to improve forest biodiversity management by comparing broad-scale stands' structural spatial heterogeneity between two forests by Elias Milios, Kyriachi Kitikidou

“… This article aims to propose a methodological approach to the determination of differences in structural spatial heterogeneity between two different forests, exhibiting differences in some characteristics. By comparing the variances of the Gini-Simpson index values calculated from diameter at breast height (DBH) or tree height distributions in randomly sampled plots, structural differences can be effectively quantified. …”
