Characteristic size distribution of mixed stands compared with monocultures. In this analysis, the minimum tree sizes in mixed stands were smaller and the maximum tree sizes were greater, but the mean size was rather similar to monocultures. In mixed stands, the tree numbers were higher and the size distributions more left-steep (skewness> > 0) and more peaked (kurtosis> > 0) than in monocultures where the size distributions were more symmetrical and flatter (Pretzsch and Schütze 2015)
