Modeling Interior Douglas-Fir Growth and Yield Following Thinning and Fertilization Treatments Item Info

A compatible forest growth and yield prediction system has recently been developed for interior Douglas-fir. The core of the prediction system is a whole stand model, Simulation Of Stands (SOS). The whole stand model consists of four components: (1) volume prediction model, (2) basal area prediction model, (3) top height growth model, and (4) survival model. However, primary evaluation of the whole stand model indicated that the basal area prediction model underestimated stand basal area for large basal area, large top height and high stand density. It may be due to the inadequency of model formulation. Therefore, a new basal area prediction model needs to be developed based on biological rationales.
