ABSTRACT This transect study in 41-178 year-old stands of Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta DOUGL. ex. LOUD.) in the southern boreal forest of British Columbia, Canada, analyses... -
Growth and Release of Understory Spruce in Partially-Cut Pine Stands
This report addresses the management practices and challenges related to sub-boreal forests in British Columbia. It discusses the historical dominance of clearcutting followed... -
Competition and Tree Crowns: A Neighborhood Analysis of Three Boreal Tree Spe...
ABSTRACT Competition for canopy space is a fundamental structuring feature of forest ecosystems and remains an enduring focus of research attention. We used a spatial... -
An Evaluation of the Main Factors Affecting Yield Differences between Single-...
In British Columbia, many of our second-growth stands have regenerated as mixed-species stands and yet our understanding of how to manage these stands to achieve multiple goals... -
