| Abstract: | Commercial thinning or density management treatments would be applied to dense and even-aged stands dominated by Douglas-fir. The objective would be reduction of relative stand densities. GFMA stands would be thinned from below, removing primarily suppressed and intermediate trees, though removal of some co-dominant and dominant trees would be anticipated. Thinning would be designed to achieve a Relative Density Index (RDI) of approximately 0.35-0.45, to maximize growth of the remaining trees.The primary objective of density management in Riparian Reserves would be to accelerate the development of late-successional forest and habitat characteristics. Also includes some road construction and renovation. |
| Description: | 69 pp. Tables, figures, references, maps, appendices. Potential units for commercial thinning have been identified in the Upper Middle Fork Coquille River Watershed Analysis Unit in T. 29 S., R. 8 W., Section 29; T. 29 S., R. 9 W., Section 13; and T. 30 S., R. 9 W., Sections 13 and 23. Other units were identified in the Middle South Umpqua River/Rice Creek Watershed in T. 29 S., R. 6 W., Sections 27, 33 and 35; T. 29 S., R. 7 W., Sections 25 and 35 and the Lower Cow Creek Watershed in T. 30 S., R. 6 W., Sections 3 and 9.
