The proposed method accurately estimates tree site index for longleaf pine, enhancing forest management efficiency.
A short-cut method of estimating tree site index for longleaf pine ( Pinus palustris , Mill.) is described and evaluated. The method consists simply of obtaining averaging the individual tree site indices of the three to six trees of largest d.b.b. on a fifth-acre plot. Tests indicate that the procedure will yield estimates of the actual site index that are sufficiently accurate for most forest management purposes.
