Pre-Commercial Thinning Sample Clauses

Pre-Commercial Thinning. Candidate stands for pre-commercial thinning enhancement are on slopes less than 35%, within the 10-15 year age class, and would have stocking levels between 550 and 650 or more trees per acre. For slopes greater than 35%, the stocking goal is 450 to 550 or more trees per acre. Conifer trees of this age would generally be 3 to 5 inches dbh. After a pre-commercial thinning application, stands would have 300 to 325 residual trees per acre. This stocking allows for increased radial growth and short-term woody debris, because the cut trees are not removed from the stand. Pre-commercial thinning is generally accomplished by hand cutting and does not involve the use of heavy equipment. Under the SHA, pre-commercial thinning prescriptions will include leaving some shade tolerant trees and hardwood trees, if available, to create forest diversity and enhance future owl habitat.

Pre-Commercial Thinning. Pre-commercial thinning may be employed at 8 to 10 years of age wherever natural regeneration has increased stocking levels to significantly more than 250 trees per acre. Trees would generally range from 1 to 5 inches DBH. Excess trees would be slashed to reduce density to 250 trees per acre but existing hardwood trees would not be reduced to < 5% of residual stocking. Potential mortality resulting from black bears (Ursus americanus) feeding on the cambium of young trees will be anticipated in decisions to reduce tree density. The target residual stocking level is notably less than the regional industry standard range of 300 to 325 trees per acre. Reduced stocking promotes tree growth and understory shrub production. Short-term woody debris accumulates because the trees are cut by hand and not removed.
