Griz thin decision memo
(2008-09-19) Siuslaw National Forest (Agency : U.S.)
Announces decision to enhance the development of late successional habitat and improve habitat diversity by: 1. Commercially thinning about 66 acres of stand 507089; 2. Creating stand diversity by applying a mixture of thinning regimes in the stand and under planting about 43 acres; 3. Increasing structural diversity by falling and leaving about 330 trees as coarse wood and creating about 396 snags in the stand; 4. Creating a 3/4 acre meadow at the end of the existing temporary road; and 5. Adding about 50 pieces of large wood by hand to the largest stream adjacent to the unit.

Siuslaw thinning and underplanting for diversity study -- Phase II environmental assessment
(2007-05) Hebo Ranger District (Agency : U.S.); Central Coast Ranger District (Or.)
Proposes to continue long-term objectives of learning about effects to overstory trees from overstory density treatments, learning how overstory treatments affect understory trees, and learning how treatments affect understory species diversity. Includes density management treatments reducing the areas with 60 trees per acre to about 17 trees per acre, reducint the areas with 100 trees per acre to about 40 per acre, and measuring thinning and yarding impacts, dead wood decay rates, and artificial and natural recruitment rates of dead wood.
