Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The water supply in the 4-ft root zone of thinned red pine plantations averaged nearly 10% (500 tons/acre).
- Observation The fully-stocked red pine stand had high soil moisture early in the growing season because of a delayed thaw.
- Association Decreasing soil moisture below field capacity coincided with retarded diameter growth of red pine trees in early July.
- Intervention effect 50% thinning reduced the growing stock of red pine beyond permissible limits.
- Intervention effect 50% thinning was favourable to weed growth in red pine stands.
