Tree Recruitment
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
This curve shows how a field measurement for this indicator would score across all available benchmark forms in this context.
Evidence & Context
For larger trees, thin to no less than 250 stems per ha (6 x 7 m spacing).
Density of advanced recruiting native overstorey trees retained during selective thinning or stand management, measured as stems per hectare
Minimum density of advanced woody recruits necessary to maintain long-term overstorey viability in managed agricultural landscapes.
Federal regulatory threshold defining the structural floor of advanced woody recruits necessary to maintain long-term overstorey viability in managed agricultural landscapes.
