Dynamics of coarse woody debris following gap harvesting in the Acadian forest of central Maine, U.S.A.
Problem Addressed: Dynamics of down coarse woody debris under an expanding-gap harvesting system
Goal(s)/Objective(s): To compare volume, biomass, diameter-class, and decay-class distributions of CWD in permanent plots before and 3 years after harvest and to determine wood density and moisture content by species and decay class
Key Findings: Both harvesting treatments increased the volume and biomass of non-decayed, small-diameter CWD although the trend is likely more complex because of the superimposition of small-scale natural disturbances and repeated silvicultural entries
