Vegetation response following thinning in young Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon : can thinning accelerate development of late-successional structure and composition?

Creator:

Beggs, Liane R.

Abstract:

Across western Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, forest management practices over the past century reduced the amount of late-successional forest while simultaneously increasing the amount of young (less than 80 years old), managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) dominated forests. Recently, concerns over loss of late-successional habitat pushed management objectives on public...

Following Thinning in Young Douglas-fir Forests of Western Oregon: Can Thinning Accelerate Development of
Patterns in understory vegetation communities across canopy gaps in young, Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon

Creator:

Fahey, Robert T.

Abstract:

Canopy gap formation is a major factor contributing to maintenance of overstory species diversity and stand structure in forests and may be integral to development of understory shrub and herb layers as well. Acknowledgement of gap formation as a fundamental feature of natural forests has led to consideration of gaps...
