Key Points

Cull percentages in northern hardwood stands are often difficult to estimate, leading to challenges in forest management.
Analysis of defects in 600 sample sugar maple trees was used to develop a practical estimation method.
The proposed method for estimating cull percent shows potential applicability to various northern hardwood tree species.
Understanding cull in northern hardwoods can enhance forest resource management and sustainable practices.

Implication

Analysis investigates cull percentages in sugar maple trees, suggesting improved estimation methods for northern hardwoods.

Abstract

Cull is often very heavy in northern hardwood stands and is difficult to estimate. Defect in 600 sample sugar maple trees was analyzed. Using this as a basis, a method for determining cull percent in standing trees has been worked out which appears to have application to northern hardwoods in general.
