Veneer Recovery from Beetle-Killed Spruce Trees, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

摘要

A four-level, visual classification system based on tree conditions was developed for beetle-killed spruce on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. The veneer recovery study estimated volume and value of veneer recovered from trees in all but the most deteriorated class (class 4). Trees were selected by dbh and deterioration class from plots spanning the peninsula.
