Abstract
Site index for shortleaf pine or upland oak in various areas of the Ozark-Ouachita Highlands can be predicted with equations employing a few simple soil and topographic variables. The predictions are most reliable for shortleaf pine in the Ozark Plateau or Boston Mountains, where variability in site index is relatively small. Localized site index curves developed for pine and oak generally present more accurate indications of height growth patterns than the old regional curves.
