ent ages (usually in lo-year periods) per unit of area (usually per 

 acre). 



Normal yield tables are constructed separately for given species on 

 different sites (and sometimes different growth regions) under different 

 treatment, and are used as standards with which to compare actual 

 jdelds. The statements of a normal yield table are derived as an 

 average from the best producing areas. If a normal forest were not 

 only an idea, but actually attainable, the normal yield, table would 

 represent its piroductivity and stock. 



Empirical yield table is a statement of the actual volumes of given 

 stands. They are of local value only. Since there is no " experience " 

 involved, the term Local yield table would be preferable. 



In finance, volumes may be translated into values and referred to as 

 money yield table, income table, or financial yield table.
