Abstract

Diameter growth of young trees as measured on Douglas-fir stumps of the previous stand was related to height of 5-year-old Douglas-fir seedlings on 16 cable-yarded, broadcast-burned progeny test plantations in southwestern Oregon. The resulting regression can be used to estimate the preharvest potential for seedling height growth on cutover land.
