Abstract

Presents equations and/or computer subroutines for estimating either site index and yield capability, or both, of eight Rocky Mountain species in forest inventory compilation programs, or for other purposes such as management alternative simulations. Species included: western white pine, ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, western larch, Engelmann spruce, inland Douglas-fir, grand fir, and quaking aspen.
