Crop-Tree Release Thinning in 65-Year-Old Commercial Cherry-Maple Stands (5-YearResults)

摘要

The report includes a crop-tree release plan which was applied to a 65-year-oldcherry-maple stand in north central West Virginia. Criteria were developed for selecting crop trees for high quality sawtimber and veneer products. Five-year stand growth, mortality, and ingrowth using basal areas, volume, relative density, and number of trees were discussed for the treatments.
