Abstract

Announces decision to restore ecosystems identified during the Odell Watershed Analysis (1999), Big Marsh Watershed Analysis (1997), and to implement the management strategy defined for the Davis Late Successional Reserve (1995), by reducing stand density to a level that substantially changes the risk of mortality caused by overcrowding and competition for resources. Includes thinning of smaller species to promote large pine and Douglas-fir habitats for bald eagles and northern spotted owls, culturing of large trees, prescribed fire and/or mowing, salvaging excess dead and dying trees, and thinning of understory to favor overstory replacement trees. Some treatment units will be included in a separate decision.
