Volume Tables for Young Plantation-Grown Hybrid Mahogany ('Swietenia macrophylla x S. mahagoni') in the Luquillo Experimental Forest of Puerto Rico

摘要

Growth and development of young mahogany plantations in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF) have been studied by Bauer (1987), Marrero (1947), and Weaver and Bauer (1983, 1986). However, individual tree volume estimates and volume tables were never developed. The primary objectives of the present study were to estimate individual tree volume and develop local and general mahogany volume tables for young plantation-grown hybrid mahogany.
