Self-thining was measured in Salix comunities on Bam Island in Seoul at various age stages.D2H was used to estimate tre biomas, where D is tem diameter at breast height or 10 cm height for plantswith eight <1.5 m, and H is height. A log-log plot of density versusD2H and corelation analysis indicated asignificant relationship betwen density and biomas with equation 'log D2H = .1.27 log N + 7.06'. This indicatesthat self-thining afects biomas in the Salix comunity with .1.27 as the thining coeficient. If we asumea thining exponent .3/2, then the alometric oeficient of the quation, log w = a log D2H + b, is 1.18. Thisis much igher than that for any other species tudied in Kore a. There were statisticaly significant relationshipsbetwen age and ensity and betwen age and basal area nd the se relationships ugest guidelines fortransplantation of wilows and for the asesment of Salix comunity restoration projects in riverine wetlandsbased on standard ensity, basal area, and age. The results o f this tudy may also increase understanding ofsucesion proceses in Salix comunity restoration in riverine wetlands.
