Body

Utilizing source data for annual herbage production which had been obtained through repeated measurements, though not necessarily taken in each year, in 2 Arizona ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests from 1959 to 1980, 18 herbage production-forest overstory regression equations were developed and statistically analyzed. In addition to logarithmic and exponential transformations, a hyperbolic transformation met the specific acceptance criteria. Soils were stratified for some herbage components to improve sampling efficiencies. The regression equations presented are considered more useful for long-term planning purposes than for predicting the level of herbage production in a particular year.
