- Observation After 5 years, the two levels of chemical vegetation control gave no differences in hybrid spruce growth.
- Association Lodgepole pine height and diameter improved as thimbleberry cover was reduced.
- Association Hybrid spruce diameter improved as thimbleberry cover was reduced.
- Association Below 5% thimbleberry cover, lodgepole pine growth increased dramatically, suggesting a response threshold.
- Association Below 5% thimbleberry cover, hybrid spruce growth increased dramatically, suggesting a response threshold.
- Association Frost damage to hybrid spruce seedlings reduced their total height as vegetation cover was lowered.
- Association Hybrid spruce height growth was better at very low or moderately high thimbleberry cover than at moderate to low levels.
