Research abstract
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Forestry has historically relied on publically funded Experiment Stations and University programs to supply new technology. Funding has moved away from biometrics research and technical support. This situation changes the relationship among USDA Experiment Stations, University cooperatives, outside professional consultants and industrial forestry organizations. This project establishes the prototype organizational structure for an industry-sponsored research and technical services organization in forest biometrics. A large database of growth and yield information has been accumulated for availability through this new forest biometrics R & D organization. The forest industry is showing strong support for this new approach.
