TIPSY v 4.1 – Fertilization Rob Brockley & Mario Di Lucca BC MoFR Research Branch January 29, 2010
Ministry Standard Fertilization Response % Volume Increase Absolute Volume Increase (m3/ha) TIPSY v4.2
Areal Coverage Adjustment (e.g. 20%)
Competition Adjustment – High Stocking (e.g. 4444 sph – 25%)
Competition Adjustment – Low Stocking (e.g. 280 sph – 25%)
New Features in TIPSY & BatchTIPSY v 4.2 • New features: • well-spaced trees • juvenile wood • biomass and carbon output • Enhanced features: • expanded input options for genetic improvement • choice of relative or absolute fertilizer response • relaxed constraints on custom response • capability to import a file with custom fertilization responses • capability to import a file with custom OAFspecifications • updated economicsand jobs modules with 2006 values
Fertilization Modelling Future Needs........ • update Ministry standard response values for: • Fdc, Pl, Sw, Fdi • develop Ministry standard response values for: • Hw, Ss, Cw, Ba, Bl • weighted fertilization response over response period • individual tree biomass equations for fertilized trees • more fertilization research on sites/stands/species not covered by existing trials
