CFI NPT Forestry & Fire Management Division
CFI NPT Forestry & Fire Management Division Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) The primary purpose of this project is to re-measure, or establish as necessary, a permanent plot system to assess: timber stocking trends; current and potential forest growth and yield rates; measure forest characteristics compared to desired objectives (e.g., mortality rates and causes, stand density, and species composition); on NPT commercial forest land holdings.

CFI NPT Forestry & Fire Management Division Annual Allowable Cut – Management towards a Fully Regulated Forest 1.Austrian formula (Volume Control) “The principle of gradually building up or reducing the average growing stock by cutting less or more than the current growth over some adjustment period.” Applied more readily to uneven-aged stands. Not related directly to area which doesn’t provide clear direction towards a desired degree of age- and size-class regularity. 2.Area-Volume Check Method (Area Control) Simple and direct Identifies volume to be cut with areas on the ground Complete forest regularity after one rotation More suited to even-aged stands Must be combined with Volume Control for uneven-aged stands
