Outplanting Performance of Western Redcedar, Yellow-cedar and Douglas-fir in Montane Alternative Silvicultural Systems (MASS)

Résumé du livre

The Montane Alternative Silvicultural Systems (MASS) project was established in 1993 on eastern Vancouver Island to test alternative silvicultural approaches for regeneration that retain different patterns and densities of overstorey trees. In 1994, western redcedar, yellow-cedar and Douglas-fir container stock was planted at the MASS site to compare outplanting performance in shelterwood (high-density dispersed retention), patch cut (aggregated retention), green tree (low-density dispersed retention) and conventional clearcut silvicultural systems. This report presents the growth results and responses to silvicultural systems.--Includes text from document.
