Abstract
Whole-tree utilization of all stems greater than 2 inches in d.b.h. increased weight yields 32 percent over conventional harvesting to a 4-inch top diameter. outside bark. Use of tops of merchantable trees alone increased utilization by over 25 percent. Regression equations incorporating stand averages of basal area, diameter, merchantable height, and number of stems can predict biomass yields and percentage increase in yields with whole-tree utilization.
