Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The spruce budworm epidemic of the 1970s and 1980s led to the salvage harvesting of spruce-fir stands, serving as a release for scattered immature eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) trees. These pines are now growing as large isolated reserve trees above a mixed conifer regeneration stratum. The objectives in this study were to determine any effect of varying levels of basal area (m2 ha-1) of large pine reserve trees may have on (1) the densities (stems ha-1) of both eastern white pine and non-pine species in the developing regeneration stratum, and (2) the …
