Thinning prescription for the second-growth Whiskey-40 study area in Redwood National Park
Cussins DW. 1994. Thinning prescription for the second-growth Whiskey-40 study area in Redwood National Park
Following logging, the second-growth forests on lands in the Redwood Creek basin tend to contain a preponderance of Douglas fir that does not occur in old-growth redwood forests. Careful thinning may help in recreating more natural conditions. The Whiskey-40 unit was selected as a demonstration site. The author used TWINSPAN (two-way indicator species analysis) in classifying vegetation in the second-growth area and also in old-growth forest around it. Appendix 1 is a dendrogram of TWINSPAN analysis and the additional 30 appendices give vascular plant cover, live tree, basal area and other data; various analyses; and many graphs of change over time.
