Abstract

Abstract Some factors related to the form of height-over- age curves in longleaf pine plantations were identified from analyses of 660 periodically remeasured plots.Seventy percent of the variation among 32 plantations in form the growth curve was accounted for by stratifying planting sites into old fields, mechanically prepared and unprepared cut-over sites. Curve form was affected by site quality on prepared and unprepared sites, and by stand density on ail sites.
