Abstract

Diameter and height growth models for fertilized loblolly pine stands were developed using data from midrotation loblolly pine plantations across the southeastern United States. Tree growth in fertilized stands was predicted with a reference growth model multiplied by an equation predicting the relative growth response following fertilization. The temporal distribution of the growth response was modeled by the Weibull function. These equations for fertilizer growth response were developed to be compatible with individual-tree simulation models. Information about dose, nutrient elements, and time elapsed since fertilization are needed to predict the relative growth response following fertilization.
