Excerpt from Site Indexes for Lodgepole Pine, With Corrections for Stand Density: Instructions for Field Use Lodgepole pine (pinus contorta Dougl.) commonly grows in overly dense stands, and crowding restricts the rate of height growth. Site index must, therefore, be adjusted for stand density. Figures 1 and 2, and tables 1 through 7 have been prepared for field use in estimating site index for lodgepole pine. They are applicable to lodgepole pine stands in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, and eastern Washington and Oregon.2 Information necessary to understand field application of the site index curves and instructions for their use are presented in this paper. Methodology used to develop the site index curves will be presented in a subsequent paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
