Competitive interactions between Douglas-fir seedlings (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and seedlings of a nitrogen-fixing hardwood
associate, red alder (Alnus rubra), were investigated in an addition series experiment. The primary objective of the research was to identify and quantify key processes underlying intra- and interspecific competitive interactions of Douglas-fir and red alder seedlings....
This annotated bibliography was compiled to provide a comprehensive list of sources on the ecological factors that affect forest regeneration. Abstracts from 494 publications are indexed by author, species, and subject, and are arranged into 4 major sections. Topics include the effects of biotic factors, abiotic factors, and stand and...
Cover-projection models were developed based on algebraic difference formulations of an exponential-power function to describe shrub recovery and development patterns after clear-cutting and site preparation. We tested the effect of six treatments on shrub growth patterns by incorporating indicator variables into the rate and shape parameters of the models for...
