To provide an alternative to this conventional approach height modelling was linked to site classification using stem analysis and site data obtained from 102 naturally established white spruce Picea glauca Moench Voss stands in the Sub-Boreal Spruce zone of British Columbia. The study stands were stratified according to their soil moisture aeration and nutrient regimes and a site-specific height curve was developed for each of the 7 delineated groups without using site index as a predictor. Although less precise the curves developed were comparable to the conventional height curves that use site index as a predictor. Testing against independent data indicated that the site-specific height curves were reliable and applicable over a large area of the sub-boreal forest for predicting dominant heights of white spruce stands.

L utllisation de courbes polymorphes de croissance en hauteur est très courante pour prédire la hauteur dominante d un peuplement connaissant un indice de fertilite OU un couple hauteur-âge. Nous proposons une alternative à cette methode en reliant directement un modèle de croissance en hauteur aux conditions de station parrutilisation de données d .
