Stumping out tree root disease – An economic analysis of controlling root disease, including its effects on carbon storage in southern British Columbia

2018-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Stumping, or removing stumps after logging, is a forestry practice used to control the level of Armillaria and Phellinus root disease in temperate forests in British Columbia (BC) and elsewhere. A comprehensive assessment of the economic rationale for stumping is largely absent. This study attempts to fill this gap by using a detailed case study of a 46-year old trial and an assessment using growth and yield model...
