1 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models Introduction to Growth and Yield Models
2 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models TYPES OF GROWTH AND YIELD MODELS OR SIMULATORS Whole-Stand Whole-Stand/Diameter-Free Whole-Stand/Diameter-Function Whole-Stand/Diameter-Class Single-Tree/Distance-Independent Single-Tree/Distance-Dependent
3 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models TYPES OF GROWTH AND YIELD MODELS OR SIMULATORS Whole-Stand Whole-Stand/Diameter-Free Stand-level attributes: Basal area = f(site, age) Top height = g(site, age) Volume = h(site, age, basal area, top height)
4 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models Whole-stand model for Douglas-fir (Chambers 1980): CVTS = A S P A A P A S P = average breast height age of site trees = site index (50-yr base age) = Percent of normal or maximum basal area given A and S
5 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models TYPES OF GROWTH AND YIELD MODELS OR SIMULATORS Whole-Stand Whole-Stand/Diameter-Free Whole-Stand/Diameter-Function Whole-Stand/Diameter-Class Single-Tree/Distance-Independent Single-Tree/Distance-Dependent
6 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models Weibull distribution k=f(site, age, stand) λ=g(site, age, stand)
7 Trees per acre Growth, Yield, and Productivity Diameter distribution tpa within a diameter class Diameter class
8 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models TYPES OF GROWTH AND YIELD MODELS OR SIMULATORS Whole-Stand Whole-Stand/Diameter-Free Whole-Stand/Diameter-Function Whole-Stand/Diameter-Class Single-Tree/Distance-Independent Single-Tree/Distance-Dependent
9 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models Diameter distribution model does not require conformity to a smooth probability distribution; hence, more flexible (Analogous to stand table projection)
10 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models Estimate number of trees that: 1) Move to bigger diameter classes 2) Stay in diameter class 3) Succumb to mortality MORTALITY
11 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models SINGLE-TREE/DISTANCE-INDEPENDENT GROWTH AND YIELD MODELS Requires more input data to run than all whole-stand growth and yield models Uses a sample of the stand's actual diameters Can provide details on single trees such as their wood quality Applicable to even-aged, uneven-aged, pure species and mixed species stands Computationally more "expensive" to operate than all of the whole-stand growth and yield models They predict the development of even-aged, pure species stands better than whole stand/diameter-free growth and yield models

13 Introduction to Growth & Yield Models SINGLE-TREE/DISTANCE-DEPENDENT GROWTH AND YIELD MODELS Requires more input data to run than all other types of growth and yield models Uses a sample of the stand's actual diameters Can provide details on single trees such as their wood quality Applicable to even-aged, uneven-aged, pure species and mixed species stands Computationally the most "expensive" to operate than all other types of growth and yield models No proof that tree coordinates improve the capability to predict stand development

Regeneration / Young Stand Models
Many of the standard growth and yield models that are currently in use start with stands that have passed the regeneration phase of development (i.e., they start with stands with ages of 15 or 20 years
