Accordingly, the site form (SF) is an alternative measure of productivity to the site index based on the tree height–diameter relationship. Our study aims to evaluate SF as a measure of productivity in the temperate uneven-aged multispecies forests of Durango, Mexico, applying three methods to estimate SF: (i) as the mean height of dominant trees at a reference diameter (SFH-D); (ii) as the expected mean height of dominant trees at a reference mean diameter (SFMH-MD), and (iii) as the expected height at a reference diameter for a given site (SFh-dbh). We assess the effectiveness of the SF based on two hypotheses: (i) the SF correlates to the total volume production, and (ii) the SF is independent of stand density. The SFH-D and the SFh-dbh showed a high correlation with productivity. However, they also did so with density. Contrary to this, the SFMH-MD had a weak correlation with density and productivity. We conclude that the SF is a suitable approach to describe site quality. Nonetheless, its effectiveness as a site quality indicator may be affected according to the method used."],["dc.description.sponsorship","The National Forestry Commission of Mexico and the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/plants11202764"],["dc.identifier.pii","plants11202764"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/118259"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-621"],["dc.publisher","MDPI"],["dc.relation.eissn","2223-7747"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Forstökonomie und nachhaltige Landnutzungsplanung"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","site quality"],["dc.subject.gro","uneven-aged multispecies stands"],["dc.subject.gro","dominant trees"],["dc.subject.gro","site productivity index"],["dc.subject.gro","forest density"],["dc.title","Evaluation of the Site Form as a Site Productive Indicator in Temperate Uneven-Aged Multispecies Forests in Durango, Mexico"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.status","in_press"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
