Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Precommercial thinning increased basal area.
- Intervention effect Precommercial thinning increased crown radius increments.
- Intervention effect Height increment was highest without thinning.
- Intervention effect PCT3–3.5 m trees had lower height-to-diameter ratio than other thinning treatments.
- Association The negative DBH versus h/d correlation weakened slightly after PCT3–3.5 m thinning.
- Intervention effect Thinning did not significantly affect snow or wind damage in year two.
- Mechanism Authors attribute greater diameter and crown growth after thinning to reduced competition.
- Mechanism Authors infer thinning increases stand stability against likely snow and wind damage.
