IUFRO Symposium on forest site and continuous productivity: Seattle, Washington, August 22-28, 1982.

Abstract

This Symposium was planned by members of the IUFRO Site Group (S1.02) as part of their on-going activities to facilitate the worldwide exchange of ideas among individual research workers and to promote the dissemination of research results in the area of forest site productivity. The Symposium consisted of three days of indoor sessions followed by a 2-1/2-day field trip through the forests of western Washington, including the Mt. St. Helens blast zone. The Symposium attracted 130 participants from 15 countries.

Acknowledgments are made to members of the Symposium planning committee: Stan Gessel, University of Washington; Russ Ballard, Weyerhaeuser Company; Chuck Grier, University of Washington; Dale Cole, University of Washington; Dick Miller, U.S. Forest Service; and Bob Powers, U.S. Forest Service. Thanks also go to the session moderators(George Bengtson, Tim Ballard, H. Zottl, Dick Miller, Bob Zasoski, Dick Walker) and Delores Batayola for running the Symposium so smoothly. The fine job done by the field trip hosts, Dick Miller, U.S. Forest Service; Dale Cole, University of Washington; Jack Winjum, Weyerhaeuser Company; and Bill Scott, Weyerhaeuser Company is gratefully acknowledged.

The papers printed in the proceedings all received technical reviews and were edited by both the Symposium editors and the professional editorial staff of the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, Portland, Oregon. Printing and production were supervised by the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, Portland, Oregon.
