Thinning in Young Northern Hardwoods


Book Description

S2The yield of even-aged hardwoods can be increased by a A program of regular thinnings. The questions are: How much increase can be expected? And what are the effects on quality? The 5-year results from a long-term study of thinning in young northern hardwoods on the Bartlett Experimental Forest in New Hampshire show that heavy thinning increased crop-tree basal-area growth by 53 percent and crop-tree diameter growth by 64 percent. There were no adverse effects on tree quality, and overall stand quality has been improved.S3.
















Estimating Tree Biomass Regressions and Their Error


Book Description

Proceedings of a workshop co-sponsored by the USDA Forest Service, the State University of New York, and the Society of American Foresters. Presented were papers on the methodology of sample tree selection, tree biomass measurement, construction of biomass tables and estimation of their error, and combining the error of biomass tables with that of the sample plots or points. Also presented were papers on various aspects of biomass research currently being conducted in the United States, Canada, and abroad.
