An Approach For Projecting Mixed-Species Forest Growth And Mortality, Steven H. Bullard Jan 1984

An Approach For Projecting Mixed-Species Forest Growth And Mortality, Steven H. Bullard

Faculty Publications

Mixed-species forests are common throughout the United States and growth and yield models are needed which reflect complex interrelationships. A stand-table projection approach with upgrowth and mortality components is presented for modeling growth and development in such forests. The method involves concepts previously used to model mixed-species diameter growth, in the upgrowth component of the projection system. Tentative equation forms arc presented to help clarify the general approach.
