Age (years) Figure 5—Total net cubic volume yield of trees growing at five initial spacings from age 11 to 20: (A) ponderosa pine and (B) lodgepole pine. To produce trees of given sizes () in less time, or conversely, to produce larger trees in the same time, stand density must be controlled to attain the diameter growth rate sufficient to reach the target diameter within the desired time frame. Be- cause maximum volume yield generally occurs at high stand densities, and maximum diameter growth occurs at low densities, some yield is sacrificed to produce larger trees within a given time. In pure lodgepole pine, for example, average stand diam- eter increased from inches to inches after 20 years as the number of trees per acre decreased from 1,210 to 538. This also resulted in a volume yield reduction of about 28 percent. 12.
