Volume estimates of limba plantations, using the power law regression (Eq. (7)) (age between 50 and 58 y).

Mean commercial volume (m3 per tree) 5.6 ± 4.1
Mean stand volume (m3 ha−1) 183.9 ± 135.0
Minimum annual increment (m3 ha−1 y−1)* 3.2 ± 2.3
Maximum annual increment (m3 ha−1 y−1)** 3.7 ± 2.7
Mean planned stand volume (m3 ha−1) 290.3 ± 213.2
Minimum annual increment (m3 ha−1 y−1)* 5.0 ± 3.7
Maximum annual increment (m3 ha−1 y−1)** 5.8 ± 4.3
Mean potential stand volume (m3 ha−1) 580.7 ± 426.4
Minimum annual increment (m3 ha−1 y−1)* 10.0 ± 7.4
Maximum annual increment (m3 ha−1 y−1)** 11.6 ± 8.5
*

Mean annual growth if the plantations were 58 years old.

**

Mean annual growth if the plantations were 50 years old.
