Growth and yield predictions for upland oak stands

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to furnish part of the needed information, that is, quantitative estimates of growth and yield 10 years after initial thinning of upland oak stands. All estimates are computed from a system of equations. These predictions are presented here in tabular form for convenient visual inspection of growth and yield trends. The tables show growth and yield in terms of basal area, total cubic-foot volume, cordwood volume, and board-foot volume over a broad range of site, age, and residual stand density classes.
