Understanding of how diameter distributions in Western Gulf loblolly pine plantations can be modeled while incorporating environmental covariables, can provide improvement in the estimation of Weibull parameters. With changing climate conditions, this study offers a better knowledge of how environmental factors influence loblolly pine growth.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will have a better understanding of diameter distribution modeling for loblolly pine plantation.
Participants will understand the effects of incorporating environmental covariables into diameter distribution modeling.
The participants will have a better undersanding of the relationship of age and planting density.
