Growth and yield predictions for managed even-aged stands in British Columbia are based on TASS, an individual-tree distance-dependent growth model driven by an unusually detailed description of crown development. Because of its complexity, most applications utilize previously generated stand-level yield tables rather than running TASS directly. I have developed a differential equation approximation to the stand-level dynamics predicted by TASS that mimics the aggregate behaviour with sufficient accuracy for many practical purposes. Versions of this model, called TADAM, exist for planted coastal Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and white spruce. TADAM can efficiently project stand development starting from any initial conditions, and subject to any combination of thinnings. Its relative simplicity makes it suitable for embedding into landscape-level planning models and other decision support systems. It has been implemented as a C function library, as an interactive simulator running on a PDA, and as an Excel spreadsheet add-in. An example of thinning and planting density optimization is briefly described.
