A Computer Program for Variable Density Yield Tables for Loblolly Pine Plantations

Informally Refereed

Abstract

The computer program described here uses relationships developed from research on loblolly pine growth to predict volumes and yields of planted stands, over the site range of the species, under a wide range of management alternatives. Timing and severity of thinnings, length of rotation, and type of harvest can be modified to compare the effects of various management strategies on wood yield. The program can be modified readily for other conditions or species.
