Abstract

Yield and quality of central hardwoods depend greatly on the site. So, first off you should determine the site quality of your land for a variety of tree species. This information will allow you to compare yield and value so you can favor the species best suited for each site. Knowing site quality will help you determine what levels of management intensity and investment your land will support.
