Forty years of spruce–fir stand development following herbicide application and precommercial thinning in central Maine, USA
Problem Addressed: Long-term stand dynamics for northern forests
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Evaluate the long-term effects of herbicide release and PCT on stand composition and structure; test assumptions about the effects on mixedwood stands
Key Findings: Early herbicide application created softwood-dominated mixedwood stands over the long term; PCT more than doubled merchantable softwood volume
Recommendation: Early PCT dramatically influences the development of spruce-fir stands
