Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Total tree and bole wood biomass in thinned plots converged toward unthinned plots.
- Intervention effect At site one, 70% stocking exceeded unthinned biomass after 16 years.
- Association Heavily thinned stands may take longer to converge in biomass.
- Association Foliage and bark biomass fell as thinning intensity rose.
- Intervention effect Except for heavy thinning, thinning did not significantly affect bole allocation proportion.
- Intervention effect Thinning appeared to reduce total foliage biomass.
- Intervention effect Heavy thinning appeared to increase foliage fraction, without statistical significance.
- Association Better sites allocated more biomass to bole wood.
- Association Better sites allocated less biomass to foliage.
