Utilizing data from the CTRN to assess incidental impacts of thinning and site conditions on diversity and community composition of natural regeneration in spruce-fir forests. Assess long-term trends in yield (basal area per hectare and volume) and net present value utilizing state of the art soil maps, climate data, and local estimators of evapotranspiration. Water surplus is an incredibly useful tool to aid in estimations of site productivity (yield) and economic returns. Site biotic and abiotic factors as well as density management treatments influence stand yield, diversity, and species composition. Site water availability estimators are useful tools for landowners to predict stand yield and future conditions of the stand.
