The main methodological approaches in the world forestry literature to examine the density control are based on studies on the competition among trees and the self-thinning of the stands, and have resulted in important scientific rules, which are the basis of the Stand Density Control Diagram (SDCD). The purpose of this paper is to present the theoretical foundation, the main elements and the application of the SDCD as an integral methodology for density control and plantation management.Forest Research Institute BAS2002engjournal articleVoRhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/683290861-007XForest ScienceНаука за гората (Nauka za Gorata)22738https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/68329/1/nauka-za-gorata-2002_2.pdfapplication/pdf1.14 MB2002
