Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings, Symposium for the Management of Pines of the Interior South: Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 7-8, 1978
A basic objective of timber management is to produce the most high quality timber possible in the shortest period of time. Manipulating stand density by thinning helps accomplish this goal because trees that would be lost through mortality are harvested and because the remaining trees grow faster in diameter and trees are able to produce usable products quicker.
We began this study in a 30-year-old natural shortleaf pine stand to see how this species responds to thinning. Specifically, we wanted to know how dense the residual stand should be to produce the most wood and what yields can be expected from the thinnings.
