Allometric equations quantify accelerated growth and #carbon fixation in #trees of northeastern north America.
Sustained tree growth contradict the common assumption that #tree growth declines in bigger trees.
Yield tables and silvicultural guidelines should be updated to reflect these current relationships.
Such revisions will favor delaying harvests in many managed stands to increase wood production and enhance ecosystem values including carbon fixation and storage.
