Abstract:
Objectives:
To retrospectively study existing vegetation management experiments, where
a range of conifer release alternatives have been tested, to quantify
the effects of these methods in the stem quality of regenerating aspen.
Location:
Thunder Bay
Key Deliverables:
Journal Article- The effects of conifer-release treatments on aspen stem
quality; implications for mixedwood management. Report- The effects of
conifer-release treatments on aspen stem quality; implications for mixedwood
management. University thesis.
Expected Benefits:
This project will provide knowledge for improving forest management practices
by refining decision-making processes regarding stand tending options,
and will improve predictive capabilities concerning future/harvestable
stand condition.
Sources of Funding:
Enhanced Timber Production and Protection Network
