摘要
The importance of understanding effects of stand dynamics on growth as they relate to identifying and evaluating forest declines is discussed. Decline diseases and some of their characteristics are reviewed, as are general patterns of normal growth and development of forest trees and stands. The need to develop an expectation of normal growth is discussed and a minimally sufficient set of growth stratifying factors; namely, site quality, stand density and age, is proposed.
