DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2016-0228
Abstract: Commercial thinning (CT) is an important silvicultural practice in the northeastern United States. Relatively little is known, however, about the interaction of harvest system and treatment (removal intensity or timing of entry) on the overall… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2016-0301
Abstract: In mixedwood forest, different types of commercial thinning that generate different gap sizes are being tested as alternatives to clearcutting to create forest stands with an irregular structure that would emulate the pre-industrial forests. The… read more here.
