Mean annual increment at age 100 according to Marschall (1975).

b

SDI = N·(25/dg)−1.73 according to Sterba (1987).

c

The sum of the crown projection areas of equally large open grown trees in percent of the stand area according to Krajicek et al. (1961) with open grown tree crown widths of Hasenauer (1997).
