Growth and yield implications of site preparation, competition control, and climate in the western boreal forest
DownloadSpring 2011
The main goal of this thesis was to improve our understanding of the long-term effects of establishment treatments and climate change on lodgepole pine and white spruce growth in the western boreal forests. My dissertation also investigated the combined effects of climate and competition on white...
