Comprehensive Outlook for Managed Pines Using Simulated Treatment Experiments-Planted Loblolly Pine (COMPUTE P-LOB): A User's Guide

摘要

'Comprehensive outlook for managed pines using simulated treatment experiments-planted loblolly pine' (COMPUTE P-LOB) is a computerized growth and yield prediction program designed to use information from either thinned or unthinned stands to predict growth and yield. A variety of entry options allows the user to examine the effects of thinning a stand or growing the stand in an unthinned condition. The minimum initial variables required to run the program are age, a measure of density, and a measure of site quality. The user may also obtain a table of the stand components removed by thinning to aid in merchandizing the stand. The generated tables may reflect either volume, green-weight, or dry-weight predictions.
