Despite the commercial importance and widespread management of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) in the Northeast, surprisingly little is known about the effects of thinning on even-aged stand development. To address this, patterns of leaf area, bole form, volume growth, and growth efficiency--defined as volume increment per unit leaf area--were examined over a 17 year period within a thinning study in central Maine designed to compare the conventional B-line and low density thinning regimes.
