A defined area of standing trees or forest, usually of one species, age and tending regime.
A group of trees similar in age, composition, and structure. A pure stand is composed of mostly a single tree species. A mixed stand is composed of a mixture of tree species.
A contiguous group of trees sufficiently uniform in species composition, arrangement of age classes, and condition to be a homogeneous and distinguishable unit.
In forestry, a community of trees possessing sufficient uniformity of composition, constitution, age, spatial arrangement or condition to be distinguishable from adjacent communities, so forming a silvicultural or management entity.
A measurable unit of standing timber usually characterized by a commonality of tree species and tree age.
A group of trees that occupies a specific area and is similar in species, age, and condition.
A group of trees occupying a specific area, which are fairly uniform in regard to species, age and condition.
(of trees) A tree community that possesses sufficient uniformity in composition, constitution, age, spatial arrangement, or condition to be distinguishable from adjacent communities.
a growth of similar plants (usually trees) in a particular area; "they cut down a stand of trees"
withstand the force of something; "The trees resisted her"; "stand the test of time"; "The mountain climbers had to fend against the ice and snow"
a collection of living trees
a group of trees in a forest which share similar physical characteristics
a group of trees sufficiently uniform in species composition, age, and condition to be distinguished from surrounding groups of trees
A group of trees. A portion of a forest with similar characteristics, such as a pine or hardwood stand or a sawtimber sized stand.
a community of trees that grow together at a particular place and that foresters can effectively manage as a unit. Transitions between stands in a natural forest are often gradual, and can be the result of changes in site. For example, a slope may have varying water availability, thus creating a line between two forest types. Silviculture, however, can create "hard lines" between stands.
A group of trees (or other vegetation) uniform in species composition and/or age characteristics (though not necessarily the same age). All trees in a stand are usually treated similarly in forest management practices.
An identifiable group of trees occurring in a particular area that form a forest management unit.
A standing growth of trees or plants
A distinct group of trees distinguishable from nearby stands.
A distinguishable, contiguous group of similar plants or trees that are uniform in age-class distribution, composition, and structure, and are growing on a site of uniform quality.
An area of trees with similar characteristics.
A community of trees possessing sufficient uniformity in composition, age, arrangement or condition to be distinguishable from the forest or other growth on adjoining area, thus forming a management or ecological entity.
Loosely used as a synonym for crop. More precisely, an aggregation of trees or other growth possessing sufficient uniformity in composition constitution, age arrangement or condition to be distinguished from adjacent crops and forming a silvicultural unit. ( BCFT modif.).
Trees of one type or species [e.g. coppice, alder] grouped together within a woodland. Standard A woodland or hedgerow tree having a single stem, and left to grow for several coppice rotations, so as to be suitable for timber.
A block of trees of the same age, species and silvicultural regime. A unit of forest area record, usually a subdivision of a compartment.
a grouping of vegetation sufficiently uniform in species composition, age, and condition to be distinguished from surrounding vegetation types and managed as a single unit.
An identifiable group of trees or section of timber occurring in a particular area.
A group of trees reasonably similar in age structure and species composition, usually occupying at least 5 acres (Hunter 1990).
A contiguous group of trees sufficiently uniform in age class distribution, composition and structure, and growing on a site of sufficiently uniform quality, to be a distinguishable unit.
A community of trees sufficiently uniform in species, age, arrangement or condition to be distinguishable as a group from the forest or other growth on the area.
Area of forest on a particular type of soil and with a uniform tree species distribution that is treated as a distinct entity
A community of trees possessing sufficient uniformity in composition, age, arrangement, or condition to be distin-guishable from the forest or other growth on adjoining areas, thus forming a silvicultural or management entity. Peuplement
a group of trees that are similar in age structure and species mix, and occupy a specific area of land ( e.g., pine or maple stand). Stands are the basic management unit in silviculture.
An area composed of trees that are similar in type, or age, or size.
A group of standing trees is referred to as a stand. One stand will usually have characteristics that will distinguish it from other stands. Differences could be species, average diameter, density and location.
a group of forest trees of sufficiently uniform species composition, age, and condition to be considered a homogeneous unit for management purposes.
A group of trees, occupying a specific area, that are fairly uniform in species composition, age, and condition.
A group of trees that are sufficiently the same in species composition and arrangement of age classes and condition so that they can be managed as a unit.
