Total standing volume divided by stand age — the average cubic metres of wood grown per hectare per year. It is the master productivity figure the whole rotation is planned and valued around.
In optimal WA plantation conditions blue gum MAI can exceed 20 m³/ha/yr; across variable sites it ranges from about 10 to 25 m³/ha/yr.
FWPA ↗MAI rolls site quality, stocking, health and management into one number, which is why harvest timing keys off it: you clearfall at the age where MAI peaks. A stand tracking above the district MAI is banking extra tonnes for the same ten years of land and capital.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Protect early survival and height growth — MAI is set young.
Keep leaf disease and nutrient stress off the crown through the rotation.
Time the clearfall to the MAI culmination age, not a fixed calendar.
