There is quite an extensive literature on growth and yield predicton;
more than I can deal with in an e-mail.
Basically, you will need to use a single-tree type of model
rather than a stand-level model in order to get good predictions
at such low stand densities. Avery and Burkhart (Forest Measurements
4th edn, McGraw-Hill, 1994) give an overview of the American literature
in chapter 16 of their book.
