Abstract

Stand growth and leaf area data from the Black Hills National Forest were used to calibrate a Multiaged Stocking Assessment Model (MASAM) for multiaged ponderosa pine stands. Stands with one to four cohorts were sampled, and the resulting model can guide the design of stand structures with up to four cohorts. Internet links are provided for users to access the model.
