Creator:: Ritchie, Martin W.
Abstract:: Equations for predicting height growth, basal area growth and diameter inside bark are presented for Douglas-fir. Basal area growth equations for grand fir are also presented. The growth models were developed for use in an individual tree/distance independent growth simulator. Various model forms and measures of competitive stress were compared...

Creator:: Ernst, Susan
Abstract:: Both public agencies and private industry are concerned with how timber is appraised for sale. An important part of the appraisal is estimating the lumber volume and value of standing timber. A system which accurately estimates the volume and value of young-growth true fir is needed.

Abstract:: Six stands of Eucalyptus regnans and E. delegatensis with significantly contagious or clumped spatial patterns, were observed between either ages 4 and 12 or ages 30 and 41 years. The effects of aggregation on the development of these stands are described. The prediction of growth and mortality responses of individual...

Creator:: Maguire, Douglas A. (Douglas Alan)
Abstract:: A branch mortality dating technique and whorl sampling strategy were implemented to model five-year crown recession from data collected on temporary plots. Twenty-eight Douglas-fir from two levels-of-growing- stock studies in Oregon and Washington were first dissected to validate the proposed dating technique and assess alternative sampling strategies. Branch mortalities in...
