Growth (Ya) refers to the change in the yield over some period of time. The Annual Increment ()Ya ) is just the annual growth of the stand per unit of area at a given age. It is the difference between the yield at age a and the yield a year earlier, at age a-1. )Ya = Ya - Ya-1 The Periodic Annual Increment (PAIa1, a2) is the average annual increment per unit area over some period longer than one year. The PAI for ages a1 to a2 is: PAI a1 , a2 = Ya2 Ya1 a2 a1 Growth and Yield Concepts (continued.) The Mean Annual Increment (MAIa) is the average annual growth rate per unit area up to age a.
