Measurements of dry—matter production in even—aged stands in northwestern New Brunswick show that the annual weight increment of mountain maple is constant while that of balsam fir increases. By age 25 the total production of balsam fir stands is 2.3 times, and the current production is 3.7 times, that of mountain maple.
