A new growth and yield model system for longleaf pine using plots in planted unthinned stands is presented. The model is formulated as a system of simultaneous equations allowing for stand-level predictions and projections for basal area, mortality, dominant height, volume and weight and accounts for soil and site characteristics.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will understand the background and construction of the longleaf pine growth and yield model system for the southeast US.
Upon completion, participant will be able to make predictions for longleaf pine for stand-level metrics of interest: basal area, dominant height, volume, and weight per acre.
