ABSTRACT Forest structure is largely determined by nearest neighbor interactions, and reveals detailed interpretations of the current situation and development potential of the stand. A structure-based method is needed to analyze the relationship of nearest neighbor tree groups and therefore to characterize the forest spatial heterogeneity in a comprehensively and systematically way. A natural mixed forest of Quercus aliena var. acutiserrata and Pinus tabulaeformis in the Xiaolong Mountains, China was taken as an example to demonstrate the telescope method (i.e. N-variate distributions). Each tree with DBH ≥ 5 cm was investigated and located, and the frequencies of N-variate distributions flexibly combined with four structure parameters, uniform angle index, mingling, dominance and crowding were calculated using Excel pivot tables and the Winkelmass software. The telescope method could systematically interpret the forest structural characteristics at different resolutions. Especially, the quadrivariate distribution provides the most detailed and comprehensive spatial structure information. Based on the vertical projection dimension reduction and marginal probability distribution function, the continuous recursive process well revealed the inherently quantitative relationships among different distributions. This could be conducive to flexibly optimizing and reconstructing forest structure, and effectively selecting the trees to be removed.
