Thin trees within forests: effects on young trees
A replicated, controlled study in 1999-2003 in temperate mixed forest in California, USA (Jones et al. 2005) found that thinning by removal of all conifers increased trembling aspen Populus tremuloides density. Total aspen density (stems/ha) was higher in thinned (16,000) than in unthinned plots (6,000). Data were collected in 2003 in 2-4 transects (30.5 × 1.8 m) in each site (~1.7 ha) of four thinned (all conifers removed in 1999) and unthinned pairs.
