Thinning Control in British Woodlands

Optimal Thinning within the Faustmann Approach
Forest stands are thinned all over the world. Yet, there was hitherto no consistent theory which allowed deriving unambiguous conditions for thinnings as the harvest of trees prior to the rotation age. Renke Coordes closes this gap by proposing a new, more general view on the Faustmann model as the basic investment model in forest resource economics. With the introduction of mutual interdependencies between the trees growing in a stand and the opportunity to harvest trees prior to the rotation age, optimal thinning regimes can be derived and analyzed. The implications of the proposed model are thoroughly discussed against the background of practical forest management decisions. The author closes with adaptations to the problems of the management of mixed, multiple-use and uneven-aged stands and entire forests. In this way, a unified perspective on the management of forests as natural resources is offered.

Precommercial Crop-tree Thinning in a Mixed Northern Hardwood Stand
The effectiveness of precommercial crop tree thinning was investigated by thinning crop trees of paper birch, yellow birch, and sugar maple to two intensity levels at 8 years of age. Analysis of covariance on post thinning growth measurements taken 7 years later indicated a significant increase in diameter and crown-diameter growth, with the pattern of response varying by species. The study suggests that a uniform crop-tree thinning treatment for a stand composed of species with varying tolerances will rarely produce the best response for all the species.
