Yield Responses of Black Spruce to Forest Vegetation Management Treatments: Initial Responses and Rotational Projections

Figure 2

Fifty-year temporal size-density trajectories for upland black spruce plantations situated on good-excellent quality sites (site index = 18): Regime 1: no FVM treatment applied; Regime 2: FVM treatment with an expected effect of a 15.7% height gain at age 7; and Regime 3: FVM applied with an expected effect of a 40.0% height gain at age 7. Graphical denotations are given in Figure 1.
