Similarities in understory vegetation composition between unthinned, thinned and old-growth Douglas fir stands in western Oregon

Creator:

Mayrsohn, Cheryl

Abstract:

Forest stands were studied to determine if old-growth forest structure could be mimicked in younger stands via overstory manipulation. Cover and species composition of understory plants were systematically sampled in sixteen thinned second-growth stands and sixteen adjacent unthinned second-growth Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirabel) Franco.) stands. The stands were thinned...
