Factors influencing residual stand damage levels due to cable thinning of coniferous stands in western Oregon

Creator:

Caccavano, Michael P.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the significant variables influencing the damage levels sustained by the residual stand after skyline thinning of coniferous stands. Damage levels were measured in ten study areas in western Oregon that had received their first commercial thinning. For this post-logging study, 38 units...

Identification of variables influencing residual stand damage from skyline thinning of young western hemlock-Sitka spruce stand

Creator:

Hargrave, Michael A.

Abstract:

Western hemlock and Sitka spruce are relatively thin- barked species and susceptible to damage during thinning operations. Damage to the wood allows decay-causing fungi to enter resulting in loss of merchantable volume at the time of final harvest. Cable yarding systems are needed for much of the thinning because most...
