Description

Based on the nonlinear least squares method and nonlinear mixed-effects modeling technique, provincial and subregion-specific tree diameter prediction models were developed for major Alberta tree species. These models predict individual tree diameters at breast height from tree heights (varies by report). They can be used at both the population and plot-specific levels with varying degrees of accuracy. Different procedures for making the predictions under different circumstances are presented. Examples of model application are demonstrated based on real data.

Description

This report outlines the sub-models developed to estimate merchantable density for the four species groups modeled by the Growth and Yield Projection System (GYPSY). These sub-models were designed to work in concert with the GYPSY sub-models published in May 2009 (see Related).

Description

Growth and Yield Projection System (GYPSY) is a forest growth model composed of a number of sub-models or functions. GYPSY is used to forecast the growth and yield of stands of trees on a per hectare basis. The 2009 version has been updated to include modelling capability for multiple species in pure and mixed species stands. It also enables forest managers to predict future growth based on reforestation survey results.
