The Determination of Increment in Cut-Over Stands of Western Yellow Pine in the Southwest

Key Points

This method enhances growth data accuracy by addressing the irregular stocking of western yellow pine stands.
Sample plots often provide unreliable growth data, indicating a need for improved methodologies in forestry research.
Data should be collected from long, narrow strips, ensuring a representative sample for the stand table approach.
The approach involves periodic remeasurement of specific diameter classes of trees to obtain accurate growth information.

Abstract

Abstract The irregular stocking, uneven-aged character and lack of uniformity of size and age classes in western yellow pine stands in the Southwest, make growth data obtained from sample plots unreliable. The author offers a different method based on a representative stand table, data for which must be ample and should be collected on long, narrow strips, and on the periodic remeasurement of only a definite number of trees of each diameter class.
