Variation in Growth, Wood Density, and Stem Taper Along the Stem in Self-Thinning Stands of .

Silvicultural practices greatly improve the economic value of wood products from forests. Stem dimensions, wood density, and stem form are closely linked to end-product performance. This research aimed to examine the effects of stand density and stem height on variables that reflect ring growth and wood properties of stands during the self-thinning phase.
