Selective Harvest
Three Approaches to Developing
Uneven-aged Forest Structure on the
Elizabeth Starker Cameron Demonstration Forest, Sept. 2001
Individual Tree Selection:
This prescription involved removing individual trees along a 100-150 foot
wide corridor along the Soap Creek Road on the northern half of the property.
The intent was to leave midstory trees and create a few small (single
tree) openings in order to release established understory and midstory
trees, allowing enough light to foster growth of Douglas-fir and western
red cedar seedlings. Gaps were far enough apart to provide a rather uniform
looking stand. Stocking levels after harvest ranged from 100-120 sq. ft.
basal area per square acre.
