Abstract

Height growth and site index curves and equations for white or grand fir growing in managed, even-aged pure stands or mixed with other conifers east of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington are presented. Data were collected in stands where height growth apparently has not been suppressed by high density or top damage.

Keywords
