A modified forest site classification system for New Brunswick has been devised on the basis of climatic regions, morphological districts, regolith systems, and site types. The system is based entirely on measured climatic, geological, mineralogical, and soil parameters, and was tested on 15 to 20-year-old black spruce (Picea mariana) plantations in northwestern New Brunswick. The height and volume growth of the plantations are significantly different among the various regolith systems but differ little within each system. Further applications and testings of the system to perfect it for intensive forest management are described.
