Models for Describing Vertical Crown Development of Lodgepole Pine Stands (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Uncover how lodgepole pine canopies grow and respond to thinning, with practical modeling that informs stand management.
This book presents crown development models that link canopy depth and position to stand density and tree size. It shows how these models can be embedded in computer growth programs to forecast future canopy structure and yield under different thinning scenarios.
- Learn how crown-related measures like canopy depth and height to crown relate to overall stand growth.
- See how thinning practices affect crown position and depth over time, not just total volume.
- Discover methods to adapt models to local conditions using simple scaling coefficients.
- Explore examples of applying these models to manage stands for desired canopy characteristics.
