We leveraged 20 years of data from the Garden of Eden experimental plots in Northern California to evaluate FVS's ability to predict growth. We created a simple workflow for managers utilizing FVS growth predictions, both for ecological reforestation without intensive management and for reforestation using competing vegetation control.
Learning Objectives:
Utilize FVS bareground growth predictions, both for ecological reforestation without intensive management and for reforestation using competing vegetation control.
Calibrate FVS bareground growth predictions for ponderosa pine stands in Northern California, which will aid in reforestation efforts after wildfire.
