Problem

How should this model be applied when growth for a shorter period than 5 years is calculated?

  • Ignore ingrowth?
  • Adjust weight of ingrown trees, e.g. if the time period is 3 years, then the weight of the ingrown trees is multiplied with 3/5?
  • Adjust diameter of ingrown trees? How?
  • Adjust diameter and weight?

Background

Interpolation to another time period than 5 years is used in two different ways:

  • To estimate values for all years between two 5-year periods. Needed when data is prepared for tactical planning. Here, ingrown trees are ignored during the intermediate years, and added in the last period. E.g. if period 1 = year 5, and period 2 = year 10; then for years 6 to 9 ingrown trees are not included.
  • To make prognostics for a time period shorter than 5 years. Needed both for tactial planning export and in RegVis. Here, the issue described above is not solved for the moment.
