Abstract

The exact value of thinning in managing hardwoods is not yet known. Further study of the many factors that affect thinning results is needed. These factors include methods and intensities of thinning, ages at which thinnings are started or repeated, effects of species composition in mixed stands, and influence of site index on response to thinning.
