Evaluating the Influence of Stem Form and Vigor on Product Potential, Growth, and Survival for Northern Commercial Hardwood Species
Problem Addressed: Understanding how defects influence product recover and value; growth and mortality.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): A revised tree classification system
Key Findings: Stem form and vigor are highly variable across hardwood species; both attributes have important implications on hardwood growth & yield.

A presentation of to assess saw log product recovery as a function of tree size, stem form, and risk; to quantify the occurrence of different stem forms and risk across hardwood species; and to incorporate stem form and damage into growth and mortality predictions in order to establish a framework for a revised tree classification system.
