Developing a growth and yield model for planted big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) at advanced age in subtropical moist forest in Puerto Rico

The ability to predict growth and potential yield is essential for planning forest management. Here we developed a narrow size-class diameter model to simulate growth in a mature plantation (age 42 years) of big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) in a subtropical moist forest in Puerto Rico....
