Abstract In installing a many-aged or all-aged silvicultural system, the forest manager typically starts with an understocked stand of timber. One of his objectives, therefore, is to build up the growing stock. He does this by harvesting only a part of the growth, leaving the rest to accumulate. How far should he increase the timber volume? At what point may he look forward to cutting the whole growth rather than reserving any more of it? In other words, what is the optimum stocking?
Duerr et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
