Wood Product Potential in Mature Lodgepole Pine Stands, Bitterroot National Forest

摘要

Volume and characteristics of wood in mature lodgepole pine stands in the Bitterroot National Forest, Montana, are presented. Growth is low and deadwood volumes are high in these stands, but three-fourths of the total volume of these stands is suited for high value products such as houselogs, posts, and poles. Up to 2.3 million cubic feet per year could be harvested.
