Abstract

A growth-simulation model for central Oregon lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.) has been constructed by combining data from temporary and permanent sample plots. The model is similar to a conventional yield table with the added capacity for dealing with the stand-density variable. The simulator runs on a desk-top computer.
