Yield Prediction Model for Forest Grazing

Abstract

This report intends to analyze the forest grazing system, and to develop a yield production model for managing forest stands along with grazing. The forest grazing system is governed by three main factors, i.e., forest stands, cattle, and grass. The relationship of these factors plays an important role in constructing the model. It is shown that there is a correlation between Ry(yield index) and grazing capacity, and that grazing becomes possible under Ry less than or equal to 0.5. There is also a correlation between the size of grazing area and capacity. Combining these results and system yield tables, a yield prediction model for forest grazing is developed.
