What is TIGER Growth and Yield database?
Constructed upon a solid foundation of U.S. Forest Service research, the TIGER Growth and Yield database system contains a true, stand-level, single tree growth model built to simulate future conditions in valuable hardwood timber stands. Unlike other timber growth models that simply add a percentage to existing tree inventory volumes, the TIGER Growth and Yield process utilizes formulas that promote tree stem diameters and account for species mortality.
