Improving Juvenile Tree Growth Prediction for Complex Mountain Pine Beetle Damaged Stands

(From "Synopsis of FIA-FSP Research Projects (2004-2009)")

Forest managers require robust, unbiased predictive equations of juvenile tree growth under a range of management conditions in MPB-damaged stands. This project developed and tested new juvenile tree growth equations for use in parameterizing the SORTIE-ND model. Understanding the response of individual juvenile trees to variation in light is fundamental to predicting future growth under a range of management options.
