Stand- and tree-level responses to a range of initial basal area densities following partial harvest of complex spruce–fir stands in central British Columbia: 25-year results of a long-term field experiment
Abstract:As forest managers increasingly seek to implement partial harvest silviculture systems in complex forests, more data are required on the potential development of the residual stand following treatment. In this study, we present 25-year data from a long-term silvicultural study of tree- and stand-level responses to differing levels of basal area following partial harvest in a complex spruce-fir forest in central British Columbia, Canada. Reducing stand basal area elicited stronger basal area increment response … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
