Determining maximum stand density index in mixed species stands for strategic-scale stocking assessments
TL;DR: In this paper, a model was proposed whereby the mean specific gravity of individual trees in a stand may serve as a predictor of a stand's maximum stocking potential, regardless of the stand's diameter distribution and species composition.

Forest Inventory and Analysis Database of the United States of America (FIA)
TL;DR: The Forest Inventory and Analysis Program measures vegetation in permanent plots on forested lands across the United States of America (GIVD ID NA-US-001). Plot sizes and protocols for measuring tree species are standardized across the country and additional standardized protocols have been implemented to measure the abundance of non-tree vascular plant and epiphytic lichen species as mentioned in this paper.
