Damage to residual trees by four mechanized harvest systems operating in small-diameter, mixed-conifer forests on steep slopes in northeastern Washington: a case study

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Dense stands of small-diameter timber present unique challenges for land managers. In the inland West, trees in high-density stands often grow slowly and may be at risk to insects, diseases, and catastrophic fires. In 1996, the U.S. Congress recognized a need to address forest health issues and stimulate local resource-based economies in northeastern Washington. Funds were provided for "implementation and evaluati...
