- Intervention effect The two release treatments did not differ significantly in diameter and height growth.
- Intervention effect Both release treatments outperformed control for diameter and height growth.
- Intervention effect Crown class scores did not differ between release treatments.
- Intervention effect Release treatments increased the percentage of crop trees competing for upper canopy status.
- Association Initial diameters of 12.5 to 20 cm predicted overstory presence after 18 years.
- Association Trees under 12.5 cm diameter were likely to stay in subordinate crown classes.
- Association Trees over 20 cm diameter maintained upper canopy position.
