Tb18: Mensuration Methods For Site Classification Of Shade Tolerant Tree Species, Leigh E. Hoar Jr., Harold E. Young
Technical Bulletins
All of the climax tree species in Maine are shade tolerant. This means that they have the capacity of surviving and growing slowly in the seedling, sapling and pole-size stages. As a result none of the established methods employing total age are applicable. In searching for a way to overcome this problem an entirely new approach to quantitative site evaluation was conceived. This study evaluates this new mensurational approach to site evaluation for shade-tolerant trees.
