Method reveals estimates for success probabilities of hardwoods on forest sites, suggesting future stocking outcomes.
A method of estimating the future contributions to stocking from hardwoods planted on forest sites is presented. The procedure is based on estimating "success" probabilities ( P ) for each species to be planted. These estimates can then be related to future stocking contributions in two ways: (1) by the reciprocal of P , which expresses the number of planted trees required to obtain, on the average, one successful tree; and (2) by the expected future utilization of growing space (expressed as percent stocking) based on estimates of P , expected future mean diameters of successful trees, and available tree area equations. Estimates are presented based on an example data set. Forest Sci. 31:883-891.
