Yellow-Poplar
The yellow-poplar simulation model projects a stand table through time. The stand table is estimated using age, site index, and basal area (Knoebel et al. 1986). All projections of the stand table are made using the modified version from Clutter and Jones (1980). Average dominant tree height for the stand is based on age and site index (Beck and Della-Bianca 1975). Height by diameter class projected over time is based on the initial and projected ages, and the initial and projected average dominant tree height. The growth in basal area is based on the work of Knoebel et al. (1986). Volumes are estimated using the relationships found in Knoebel et al. (1984) and Beck and Della-Bianca (1970).Beck, D.E., and L. Della-Bianca. 1970. Yield of unthinned yellow-poplar.
