Description
Yanlei Lu, Gangying Hui, Gongqiao Zhang, Zhonghua Zhao, and Yanbo Hu build a scoring system for forest stand quality in this 2025 paper. Managers need a fair way to judge how good a stand of trees is and whether their care is working.
Their system rates nine aspects across structure and vitality, from layering and species mix to growth, regeneration, and tree health. A unit circle method folds the scores into one index, called FQ. Tested on twenty-seven plots across seven regions of China, the index ranked natural mixed forests best and planted pure forests worst, matching field expectations. The authors offer the index as a diagnostic tool for targeted stand improvement.
