GROWTH & YIELD SERVICES
BETTER INFORMATION LEADS TO BETTER DECISIONS! — Accurate growth and yield data is critical for AAC calculations and silvicultural planning. Developing yield curves and forest-level estimates of growth is a big part of our core business.
Silvacom has pioneered a comprehensive approach to growth and yield. Our G&Y program addresses:
- Validation checks of AAC levels (generated from independent forest level data)
- Calibration and continual improvements of current yield curves
- Incorporation of regenerated and juvenile stand growth estimates into continuous yield models
- Monitoring of Enhanced Forest Management (EFM) practices to evaluate efficacy and cost effectiveness
Our G&Y program is proven and has been accepted by provincial government agencies.
