Estimating Yields of Gambel Oak from Foliage Cover and Basal Area
Hutchings SS and Mason LR. 1970. Estimating Yields of Gambel Oak from Foliage Cover and Basal Area. Journal of Range Management. 23(6):430-434
This study of Gambel oak (Quercus gamgelii Nutt.) shows that annual yields of foliage and twigs can best be estimated from measurements of foliage and basal area. Equations for predicting yield of oakbrush foliage are given for various range sites and range condition classes. Foliage yields and yield equations are different for each site and each condition class. Yield tables illustrate the relation of foliage production to foliage area and basal area.
