Studies of Growth and Stand Structure in Plantations of Pinus patula

Abstract

Mensurational data collected for management inventories were used to obtain estimates for the parameters of equations with age, and in other cases with age, stand density and site index as predictor-variables, growth and stand structure characteristics as dependent variables. The parameter estimates are valid for the plantations of Twello Forestry in the Eastern Transvaal, but may be applicable to the entire region.
