Download Productivity surfaces for Pinus radiata and a range of indigenous forest species under current climate conditions

This report aims to generate productivity surfaces for indigenous forest species and Pinus radiata for New Zealand. These surfaces were generated for current and anticipated future climatic conditions for pinus radiata. For indigenous forests, the work used predictive modelling techniques to produce spatial models of tree diameter increment. Estimating the growth rate of these forests accurately will enable optimal siting of future plantations and enhance national policy formulation.
