 Good to know: the forest management approach is embedded in the carrying capacity of a stand which has been formalized through the self-thinning relationship which makes use of two parameters '''alpha_self_thinning''' and '''beta_self_thinning'''. As a fail-safe option the longevity of a stand is still defined but will only be used when all other criteria fail to kill the stand (not observed). Longevity is defined by the parameter '''residence_time'''.
 
+Formanaged stands a lower and upper rdi is calculated as a function of qm diameter. Upper and lower rdi are determined by the parameters '''alpha_rdi_upper, beta_rdi_upper, alpha_rdi_lower, beta_rdi_lower'''. A similare approach is used for unmanaged forests but only an upper rdi is calculated with '''unmanaged_alpha_rdi''' and '''unmanaged_beta_rdi'''.
