Prediction of Growth after Thinning in Old-Field Slash Pine Plantations

摘要

An algorithm is given for projecting stand structure in old-field slash pine plantations from current stand statistics that represent conditions after thinning from below, or without thinning. Projections for selected combinations of age, site index, and density are evaluated for total cubic-foot and board-foot volume production after thinning 20, 25, 33, and 50 percent of volume and without thinning.
