Yield Implications of Site Preparation Treatments for Lodgepole Pine and White Spruce in Northern British Columbia

Abstract: Abstract:We evaluated the effects of site preparation treatments on growth of lodgepole pine and white spruce in north-eastern British Columbia, Canada. These treatments can provide yield gains of up to 10 percent for lodgepole pine and white spruce at 60 and 80 years, respectively (estimated using TASS). Stands of these two species are showing a Type 1 response. Using growth multipliers, based on measurements collected at ages 10 to 20 results in inflated estimates of potential yield responses while the age-s… Show more

“…SE, standard error; AUC, area under curve. for some site-preparation treatments at this site (Cortini et al 2010). Total infection levels were in agreement with other recent reports (Heineman et al 2010;Woods 2011) and were higher than would have been anticipated when the stands were established in the 1980s (Nevill et al 1996).…”

“…Timber supply planning relies on accurate yield predictions to determine annual harvest levels. Stand yield prediction has been shown to be directly linked to the effectiveness of silviculture practices such as vegetation management that assume a certain level of brush removal and competition abatement (South and Miller 2007, Harper et al 2008, Cortini et al 2010.…”
