Excerpt from Height Growth and Site Index Curves for Red Alder In each stand, four to six dominant or codominant trees were selected that appeared free from evidence of past damage. These were felled and sectioned at -m intervals of height. The sections were labeled in the field with tree number and section height and then transported to the laboratory for immediate processing. Age of each section was determined by counting annual rings. When necessary, sections were sanded or recut to expose a fresh surface. For each tree, heights were plotted over ages, and trees with irregular growth patterns suggesting past damage or suppression were rejected. For the remaining 1 17 trees, the years required to reach breast height m) and the heights attained at ages 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, were read from the graphs and used in subsequent analyses.
