Abstract
Observations from East Texas Pine Plantation Research Project permanent plots in loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) and slash (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) pine plantations throughout East Texas were utilized to develop methods to estimate stand-level yield values. Predicted yields are volume in cubic feet and green weight in pounds. Predictor variables for total yield are plantation age, site index (base age 25 yr) and surviving trees per acre. Partial yield is derived using total yield and plantation quadratic mean diameter in conjunction with specified threshold dbh and upper stem dob values. Expected total yield per acre is converted to partial yield per acre by considering combinations of threshold dbh and upper stem dob values. For each combination, total yield per acre is reduced by a proportional value to estimate a partial yield per acre. South.J . Appl. For. 20(1):36-41.
