Excerpt from Levels-of-Growing-Stock Study in Thinned Western Larch Pole Stands in Eastern Oregon In terms of timber management, the primary factor influencing the residual stocking level is the forester's estimate of the minimum size tree that will be merchantable in the future. The larger the trees must be to support a commercial thinning, the fewer trees should be left after precommercial thinning; and conversely, if smaller trees are merchantable, the residual stocking should be higher. Western larch (larix occidentalis Nutt.) is a valuable seral species in the mixed conifer forests of north eastern Oregon because of its fast growth rate and desirable wood proper ties. Even-aged larch stands generally become established following fire or other forest disturbances. These stands are often heavily overstocked as seedlings. Stand density control by thinning is an essential part of the management of young larch stands. Because of the shade intolerance of larch, tree crowns in unthinned stands are reduced in size resulting in a decrease in rates of diameter and height growth as early as 9 years of age (schmidt The increasing utilization of larch and other species and the associated intensification of forest management raises questions regarding suitable stocking level regimes for managed larch stands.

Excerpt from Reducing Stand Densities in Immature and Mature Stands, Applegate Watershed, Southwest Oregon In conjunction with commercial thinning in the mature stand, an understory thinning of precommercial size classes was performed to reduce understory stocking levels and overall stand densities. Thinning was particularly heavy in the vicinity of the residual mature leave trees, although scattered healthy understory saplings were retained as well. Healthy Pacific madrone also were retained at light stocking levels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Height Growth and Site Index Curves for Managed, Even-Aged Stands of Ponderosa Pine in the Pacific Northwest The most desirable density is the density at which trees continue growing at the pre determined goal rate. As the 'stand grows older, relatively low density will be maintained by periodic thinnings to some basal area level or tree number average diameter combination. Height of the dominant or tallest portion of the stand is the one measure of growth found most independent of stand factors and, consequently, the most reliable for site evaluation (lynch Generally speaking, we can conclude from the litera ture that height is not materi ally affected in stands that are not extremely overstocked or understocked (spurr In the Pacific Northwest, however, Weaver Baker Mowat Lynch (1958) and Barrett (1973) have shown that dense stocking of ponderosa pine does reduce height growth.
