Abstract:

Once site and genetic stock are selected, management of stocking, rotation age, and pruning are the principal means available to foresters to affect wood quality and value in stands of coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var menziesii). Financial evaluation was used to test whether or not improvements in wood quality and value by these means justify the costs of doing so. This analysis showed in general that improving quality through high levels of stocking or extending rotations were costly ways to improve wood quality while pruning was a cost-effective way to improve wood quality. West. J. Appl. For. 10(1):12-16.
