Forest variability index: a vector quantifying forest stand diversity and forest compactness
TLDR
In this article, a vector of forest variability consisting of a forest stand diversity index and a compactness index has been defined, which can be used for valuation of forest diversity and for developing sustainable forest management plans.About:

Structural development in ageing temperate Scots pine stands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify and interpret stand structure and its spontaneous development in unmanaged ageing Scots pine stands, based on the structural classes and the development pathways published by Kint et al. (2004a).

Ecological Diversity and its Measurement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define definitions of diversity and apply them to the problem of measuring species diversity, choosing an index and interpreting diversity measures, and applying them to structural and structural diversity.

Diversity and Evenness: A Unifying Notation and Its Consequences
TL;DR: Three commonly used measures of diversity, Simpson's index, Shannon's entropy, and the total number of species, are related to Renyi's definition of a generalized entropy, according to which there is a continuum of possible diversity measures.
