Abstract
The timber production potential of a given site (site quality) is measured by site index, dominant height of the stand at an index age. Stem analysis data from Cupressus lusitanica stands in Munessa Shashemene Forest, Ethiopia, were used to compute site index equations. The proportional curve method was adopted to construct an average guide curve. Four linear and two widely used non-linear equations were fitted to adjusted mean dominant height–age data. The Schumacher equation was chosen as giving the best fit. Site index curves are reproduced, giving dominant heights in the 12–27 m range at a reference of 15 years.
