Compatible equations for projecting total cubic volume, merchantable cubic volume to any top diameter limit, quadratic mean stand diameter, and basal area per hectare are given for red pine plantations. A ratio method is used for estimating merchantable volume. The system of equations is developed and tested using data from plantations in upper Michigan.
