The ability to "localize" the predictions of a growth model for small tracts of land using actual growth measurements can be very important as Steve points...
I guess I did contradict myself with regard to PrognosisBC. Thanks for the correction, Craig. I support your cautions regarding long-term stand dynamics....
As Craig mentioned, one of the strengthens of PrognosisBC is the model's ability to incorporate the growth of the current inventory in it's future projections....
I agree with the dangers of extrapolation. I remember having seen somewhere buried in the documentation for the US Prognosis models a warning that projections...
As Oscar points out, current size and past growth are excellent predictors of short-term future growth. But an extrapolation of constant (linear) growth will...
Thank you all for your valuable comments. I would like to add a few thoughts. ISDS was developed specifically to estimate growth and yield for long rotation,...

Hi Fred, It sounds like you are reminding us that no model is perfect, but I'm not sure why you are singling out Prognosis. Prognosis, like many other...
