Preliminary Yield Tables for Selectively Cut Stands of Ponderosa Pine in the Black Hills

Preliminary yield tables have been prepared for the intensively used stands of ponderosa pine in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming. These tables are of interest for two major reasons: first, because they indicate approximate yields in a region known to many foresters as the scene of the first Forest Service timber sale and, second, because mensurationists will be interested in the methods employed, which in one or two variations are unique.
