Abstract
Using a large data base of permanent research plots in coastal Douglas-fir, a growth projection strategy is developed. The emphasis is on stratifying growth influences into potential and modifier functions for components of diameter and height growth within a stand table. Growth periods are defined as equal increments of top height through time. The model developed is an individual-tree, distance-independent, stand-projection model.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
