What is Five-year growth, biomass, and nitrogen pools of Douglas-fir following intensive forest management treatments about?
In young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) stands, intensive forest management has resulted in variable responses in survival and growth and therefore stand biomass due to effects on microclimate and competition for limited resources. As seedling genetics and management practices develop over time, there is a need to re-evaluate how Douglas-fir survival and growth varies with intensive practices. Five-year Douglas-fir diameter at 15 cm (D15) and height growth, biomass, and nitrogen (N) pools after organic matter removals and soil compaction at a recently established site in central Oregon (NARA) were compared to five-year results from three Douglas-fir sites with organic matter removal and vegetation control treatments that were established 10-14 years earlier in central Washington (Fall River and Matlock) and northern Oregon (Molalla). The NARA site contained up to two times greater individual-tree foliar and branch biomass for the same stem D15 than the previously established sites, possibly due to a lower planting density, a warmer climate, and/or improved genetics/different seed sources. Prediction of stem biomass was similar at all sites using D
