Identifying and Characterizing Important Trembling Aspen Competitors with Juvenile Lodgepole Pine in Three South-Central British Columbia Ecosystems

Figure 1

𝑅² for predicting 2–5-year pine diameter growth (bars) and the proportion of subplots having at least one aspen stem (lines) for each aspen/pine HR class, at two stand ages at each of the six study sites. CHR is the lowest HR class designated by a gray bar. Analysis was conducted in a downward manner, so the analysis for a given class includes aspen in that class and all HR classes above it.
