Scenario

Site index (SI) (m)

Rotation length (years)

Thinning

S1. Low productivity pulp (Pulp-20)

No thin

S2. Low productivity sawtimber (ST-20)

30

Thin, age 15

S3. High productivity pulp (Pulp-24)

No thin

S4. High productivity sawtimber (ST-24)

  1. High and low productivity is measured by site index at base age 25; pulp and sawtimber regimes are noted by rotation length
