Book Description

S2There probably is a more extensive professional and scientific literature relating to eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) than for any other North American forest tree species. Unfortunately this material is scattered in thousands of books, theses, bulletins, and journal articles, making access and retrieval a serious problem for the forest researcher and practitioner alike. Three of the most frequently used classes of white pine mensurational data are estimators of site index, tree volume tables, and stand growth and yield predictors. This paper brings together some of this information. Only the more widely applicable studies are reproduced here; much additional information of local significance is represented in the literature and is available.S3.
