|
Stocking rate that would result in the maximum gain/acre in each year. |
Stocking rate that if held constant would result in the maximum gain/acre over the 12-year period. |
Gain/acre over the 12-year period if stocking rate were held constant at 0.96 AUMs/acre, the average of the moderate treatment over this period. |
