End Result. The main objective is to regenerate a stand while maintaining an early seral overstory of WL and DF. EXCEPTIONS TO STANDARD MARKING GUIDELINES Remove all RC < 21.0” dbh (except for those meeting the criteria of wildlife trees as described in Priority of Leave Trees).
End Result. The objective is to decrease stand density while maintaining a diverse species mix to minimize/prevent large-scale loss due to potential effects of high severity disturbance such as fire, disease, and insects. Another objective is to artificially plant the stand in areas where open canopy and good site productivity would encourage growth. This would result in a mostly two-storied stand with residual overstory of WL, DF, WP, and ES and early seral species regeneration. EXCEPTIONS TO STANDARD MARKING GUIDELINES Remove all RC < 21.0” dbh (except for those meeting the criteria of wildlife trees as described in Priority of Leave Trees).
End Result. The objective is to regenerate a stand that is in decline and at high risk to mountain pine beetle attack. A desirable mix of species will be planted to create a stand composition of mostly early seral species. This will create a mostly two-aged stand structure with an open canopy of desirable tree species in the overstory and a new age class of regeneration in the understory. EXCEPTIONS TO STANDARD MARKING GUIDELINES Remove all RC, WH, GF, and ES < 21.0” (except for those meeting the criteria of wildlife trees as described in Priority of Leave Trees, or as needed to create groupings of these species in created openings > 3 acres, see guidelines below).
