The model runs on an annual time step and predicts total yields in number of trees, basal area, and biomass, as well as merchantable yields in cubic feet and cords for user-specified utilization standards, and in Scribner board feet.
Outputs are in the form of stand tables and stocking guides .
The model supports silvicultural operations such as thinning, as well as management for multiple products. The model incorporates the system of equations presented in Perala et al. 1996. The model runs on an annual time step and predicts total yields in number of trees, basal area, and biomass, as well as merchantable yields in cubic feet and cords for user-specified utilization standards, and in Scribner board feet. The model can be run in batch or interactive mode. In batch mode, the user simply supplies an input file that describes the stand condition and objectives, and an updated output file is returned.
