Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model for predicting total tree height as a function of tree diameter was calibrated for twelve tree species common to the Missouri Ozarks. Model coefficients were derived from nearly 10,000 observed trees. The calibrated model did a good job predicting the mean height-diameter trend for each species (pseudo-R2 values ranged from 0.56 to 0.88), but for a given tree diameter observed tree heights were highly variable. In addition, an evaluation of the Central States variant of the Forest Vegetation Simulator (CS-FVS), a distance-independent, single-tree growth model was performed on forest inventory data from a managed, uneven-aged forest in the Missouri Ozark Highlands. Simulations were run for ten and forty year time periods, and evaluated diameter growth, number of trees per acre, and basal area. The model was also evaluated with and without providing diameter increment calibration information. CS-FVS performed reasonably well in predicting diameter growth, as compared to other evaluations of similar models. The model consistently overpredicted the number of trees per acre and basal area for all simulations. The model underpredicted mortality, especially for black and scarlet oak. Diameter increment information improved prediction the most for diameter growth and basal area estimations.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station's Forest Inventory and Analysis program is continuing its annual inventory of Missouri's forest resources. This report presents estimates of area, volume, and biomass using data for 2005, and growth, removals, and mortality using data for the most recent remeasurement period. Estimates from this inventory showed a total of 14.7 million acres of forest land in the state. The estimate of total net volume of live trees on forest land was 18.8 billion cubic feet. Higher than average mortality values for certain oak species are likely due to the increased age of the state?s forests, as well from a drought-induced oak decline over much of the past 10 years.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equations for predicting the 5-yr height growth rate of a tree are presented for six conifer species from southwest Oregon. Equations for the combination of undamaged and damaged trees were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. These equations are being incorporated into the new southwest Oregon version of ORGANON, a model for predicting the development of stands. The equations extend the previous model to older stands and to stands with a heavier component of hardwood tree species. The effects of specific damaging agents on the 5-yr height growth rate were explored for Douglas-fir, the most frequently encountered species, and damage correction factors were estimated. The findings of this analysis indicated that damaging agents can have a significant impact upon 5-yr height growth rate, and as a result, they can lead, over time, to diversification in within-stand structure. Therefore, a full characterization of stand development should include the prediction of the presence and frequency of the various damaging agents affecting trees within the stand and their subsequent impact upon tree attributes such as total height, height to crown base, diameter growth rate, height growth rate, and mortality rate.
