A Normal Forest is an ideal scenario of forest condition that serves as a comparison standard for an actual forest estate, highlighting the other's deficiencies in the interests of sustainable yield management. A forest that is optimal in terms of growing stock, age-class distribution, and increment for a particular site and management objectives, and from which the annual or periodic removal of produce equivalent to the increment can be sustained indefinitely without jeopardizing future yields. A forest that serves as a benchmark for sustained yield management since it is normal in these features. It is the perfect forest. It may not be physically present on the ground. The Normal Forest concept in forestry represents the pinnacle of perfection for the benefit of sound scientific management. Characteristics of Normality Key characteristics of a forest that is managed for continuously sustained yields- A normal series of age classes or age- gradations. A normal increment. A normal ...
