Early and late seral tree species were compared for inter-and intraspecific competitive ability; within-population genetic variability; and allocation patterns of soluble sugars and starch seasonally and in response to shade and nitrogen fertilization. Species were Douglas-fir (early seral) and western hemlock (late
seral) from a low elevation habitat; and noble...
The vegetation following forest site preparation was examined in ten clearcut units located in the western Oregon Coast Range. The site preparation techniques used in these units included scarification, slash burning, and chemical spraying. The ages of the clearcut units studied varied from one to nine growing seasons for the...
