Growth and Yield
http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/Extension/ffws/gy.htm
Predicting the future growth and yield of your forest stand(s) is an essential part of the planning process for your forest land. This page will provide you with a basic understanding of the concepts of growth and yield. A look at these concepts in the context of even- and uneven-age stand structure will also be provided.

Loblolly Pine Growth & Yield Cooperative
http://www.fw.vt.edu/g&y_coop/
The objective of this Cooperative is to develop loblolly pine tree growth and stand development models that are sufficiently flexible to account for the effects of intensive cultural practices and with output sufficiently detailed to allow for analyses of a full range of utilization options.

Tree Growth Rate Table: Annual Percentage Growth
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=131
Trees grow in diameter every year. From the farthest reach of the woody roots to the tips of the twigs, trees expand in girth. This annual growth increment allows trees to respond to changing environmental conditions and react to injuries. The ability of

Secondary Growth Anatomy and Tree Rings
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=171
Trees attempt to occupy more space and control available resources through cell divisions and cell expansion. From the end of a shoot tip to the end of a root tip, trees elongate. Along this axis of growth, trees also expand radially, which is termed "sec...

Tree Growth Rings: Formation and Form
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=172
Trees sense and respond to a host of environmental events and changes. Trees integrate these separate responses to individual conditions into a general whole-tree reaction. A growth increment represents hundreds of internal and external variables put into...

Tree Growth Velocity Estimator
http://www.forestry.uga.edu/warnell/service/library/index.php3?docID=169
The radial width of individual seasonal growth increments (tree growth rings), can be used to estimate the historic acceleration / deceleration of tree growth rates. Decreasing growth increment (ring) width do not necessarily mean slowing growth within th...
