Living, merchantable stems standing per hectare at clearfall. In an unthinned pulpwood regime this is planted density minus establishment losses and later self-thinning of suppressed trees.
Unthinned WA blue gum pulpwood stands are planted at roughly 1,000–1,250 stems/ha and carry most of that to clearfall, mortality aside.
FWPA ↗Stocking is the bridge between how many trees you planted and how many green tonnes you sell. Read against basal area it tells you whether the site is fully occupied or whether competition has thinned the stand back toward its carrying capacity.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Hold establishment survival high so the stand starts fully stocked.
Match planting density to site quality to limit later self-thinning.
Keep firebreaks and access maintained to protect stocking to harvest.
