Optimizing Timber Yield with Site Index and Habitat Types

This article explores the relationship between site index, habitat types, and tree growth to maximize timber yield. It discusses the factors influencing site index, such as elevation and soil depth, and how habitat types and plant community classification affect timber yield capacity. The BC Ecological classification system is used as a framework to understand the ecological factors impacting tree growth.
