Abstract

A base-age invariant site index equation for Pinus banksiana based on the Chapman-Richards function was produced that satisifed nine criteria of preferred behavior for site index equations. A difference form of the Chapman-Richards equation produced the best behavior; height equalled site index at base age, and the shape of the curves reflected the data. -from Authors
