Precommercial Thinning Increases Spruce Yields in Boreal Mixedwoods in Alberta, Canada
A few studies in young mixedwood stands demonstrate that precommercial thinning of aspen at early ages can improve the growth of spruce and increase stand resilience to drought. However, information on tree and stand responses to thinning in older mixedwood stands is lacking. To address this need, a...
