Abstract:: The efficiency of six disaggregative methods and two individual-tree methods was evaluated in terms of their ability to predict 5-year basal area increment for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stands in western Oregon. Models were developed for predicting gross stand basal-area increment and individual-tree diameter increment. In addition, models were...

Abstract:: Equations for predicting individual-tree height growth per 5-year period are presented for Douglas-fir, white fir, grand fir, ponderosa pine, sugar pine, and incense-cedar growing in the mixed-conifer zone of southwest Oregon. The data used to develop the equations came from 3,648 trees sampled from 391 stands in the study area....

Abstract:: Equations are presented for predicting height to crown base (or bole ratio) for fourteen species of trees common to the mixed-conifer zone of southwest Oregon. Nonlinear regression was used to fit a weighted logistic function for each species. The independent variables include height, crown competition factor in larger trees, stand...
