A Procedure for Selection Marking in Hardwoods Combining Silvicultural Considerations with Economic Guidelines

摘要

This method of applying individual-tree selection cutting in hardwood stands incorporates silvicultural considerations with economic guidelines for selecting trees for cutting. The economic guidelines are rates of return, which were developed from growth and tree-quality data for nine major species. Actual tree stumpage values were determined, working back from standard lumber prices, by deducting conversion costs.
