Abstract: Yields are presented by stand age, site index, and stand basal area at the beginning of a growth period. Differences between these yields and those projected 20 and 50 years ago are explained partly by changing definitions of normal or full stocking and partly by changes in forest management. If only pulpwood harvesting is envisioned, fairly high stocking is needed to get full production from the site. To produce sawtimber and veneer in a 35-yearrotation, however, stocking must be considerably lower. For longer sawtimber-veneer rotations, heavier stocking is required to maximize yield.
