1979. Pinyon growth characteristics in the Sweetwater Mountains. 

 USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. INT-227, 26 p. Intermt. For. and 

 Range Exp. Stn. , Ogden, Utah 84401. 



Stem analyses of singleleaf pinyon ( Pinus monophylla ) indicate that 

 height growth rates vary considerably among dominants on the same 

 site but that the rate of height growth of each tree tends to be constant 

 throughout most of its life, regardless of age or competition. Radial 

 growth rates are sensitive to competition but appear to be unaffected 

 by age. Stand basal area increment and biomass accumulation rates 

 tend to be constant in fully-stocked stands.
