In this paper, the concept of isotropic projective Ricci curvature has been investigated. By classification of Randers metric of isotropic projective Ricci curvature, it is shown that Randers metric of projective Ricci curvature is reversible if and only if it is of square projective Ricci curvature.
Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (non-positive, respectively), constant and isotropic stretch curvatures are investigated in this paper. In particular, it is proved that every non-Riemannian $(α, β)$-metric with a nonzero constant flag curvature and a non-zero relatively isotropic stretch curvature over a manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ is of a characteristic scalar constant over the Finsler geodesics. It is also shown that every compact Finsler manifold with a relatively non-negative (non-positive, respectively) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Finsler manifolds with $2$-dimensional relative stretch curvature are also investigated.
