peer agreement (net): -1evenly spaced stand Explanation: Some references to detail the concept below. The "even-ageness" is often associated with that type of stand but not always. A characteristic feature in any planted forest. It's a landscape feature of the stand. The area is dominated by a uniform, low-growing, evenly spaced stand of black sagebrush (Artemisia nova). Shrub interspaces are essentially barren of other .. http://wildlife.utah.gov/range/pdf/wmu01/01-10.pdf A value of 100 theoretically indicates that tree crowns fully occupy the growing space in an unthinned, evenly spaced stand. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&e... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2014-06-30 08:36:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A "parquet structure" is in opposition to "a clump-structure stand" having gaps between clumps. |

peer agreement (net): +1medium-sized stand Explanation: The distinction that needs to be made is between small (bouquet) and medium size. Bouquet : groupe d’arbres de dimension et d’âge voisins s’étendant sur quelques ares. Parquet : surface (de plusieurs dizaines d’ares) où les arbres sont de dimensions voisines. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day1 hr (2014-06-30 13:08:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Clump - A tight cluster of two to five trees of similar age and size originating from a common rooting zone that typically lean away from each other when mature. A clump is relatively isolated from other clumps or trees within a group of trees, but a stand-alone clump of trees can function as a tree group. Doesn't equate to bouquet for me. |

peer agreement (net): -1stand Explanation: the text says that the forest is planted irregularly (meaning at different times) and managed by "parquet ou par bouquet" the definition of a parquet is an area of several thousand m² of trees (10 ares = 1000 m²) of evenly sized trees. So by definition they are even-aged. “A community of trees sufficiently uniform in species composition, age, arrangement, and condition to be distinguishable as a group from the forest or other growth on the adjoining area, and thus forming a silviculture or management entity.” There is nothing in the text to suggest it is evenly spaced -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day1 hr (2014-06-30 13:12:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- it may be more accurate to call it a sub-stand as stand is closer to parcelle http://www.earthzine.org/2012/06/22/supporting-precision-for... The new method being developed at Forest Research aims to refine forest inventory by creating estimates at sub-stand level, capable of reflecting the degree of variability in stand conditions Example sentence(s):
