Even-Aged Management: Basic Managerial Questions and Available or Potential Techniques for Answering Them

摘要

Major stand-level and forest-wide decisions facing forest managers interested in applying even-aged management are identified. Traditional, current, or potentially useful techniques for making these decisions are reviewed. Emphasis is placed upon the way each method characterizes the stand or forest, the growth and yield information requirements of each method, the computational burden associated with each method, and the flexibility of each method and its adaptability to the form and complexity of the solution.
