Yield Responses of Black Spruce to Forest Vegetation Management Treatments: Initial Responses and Rotational Projections
Figure 3
Type I response pattern as reflected in the mean dominant height-age relationship for poor-medium (a) and good-excellent (b) site qualities: Regime 1: no FVM treatment applied (solid line); Regime 2: FVM treatment with an expected effect of a 15.7% gain at age 7 (long-short dash line); and Regime 3: FVM applied with an expected effect of a 40.0% gain at age 7 (long-short-short dash line).
