Table 1 Net present values and optimal values of decision variables for Poisson, regular and irregular stand in 5 repeated optimizations when the remaining basal area of thinning was calculated with a model (Eq. 2)

From: Which trees should be removed in thinning treatments?

NPV (€∙ha−1)

Years to 1st thinning

Years to 2nd thinning

Years to 3rd thinning

w 1 (stem value)

w 2 (value increment)

w 3 (BAL effect)
