  1. RAP-ORGANONA Red Alder Plantation Growth Model David Hibbs, David Hann, Andrew Bluhm, Oregon State University

  2. RAP-ORGANON • Data: OSU’s HSC and Weyerhaeuser Co • 53 research installations almost spanning the geographic range of red alder • Full site index range • 4 planting densities • 5 thinning treatments • >10^6 observations • Up to 6 measurements from a tree • Up to 17 year old plantations • Develop equations • Modify ORGANON model structure (time step) • Evaluation – where we are now

  7. Evaluation of RAP-ORGANON for Making Stand-Level Predictions Periodic annual residuals for gross basal area increment per acre (BAG) plotted over length of growth period (1 SD and range).

  8. Annual projections • over predicted the mortality rate by about 22% • under predicted survival by somewhat less than one percent • Net increments in basal area per acre and total stem cubic foot volume per acre were also under predicted by approximately 2 to 3%.

  9. Longest-possible projections • over predicted the periodic annual mortality rate by nearly 14% • under predicted the periodic annual survival by about 2% • over predicted net periodic annual increments in basal area per acre and total stem cubic foot volume per acre by approximately 2% • over predicted periodic annual top height by just a little.

  10. Longest-possible projections • Even with the biases, the RAP-ORGANON was able to explain • 72% of the variation in the periodic annual mortality rate • 98% of the variation in periodic annual survival rate • 78% of the variation in the periodic annual net basal area increment • 93% of the variation in the top height increment • 85% of the variation in the periodic annual net total stem cubic foot volume increment.
