. Economia dell'assottigliamento stagnava Ponderosa Pine alberello sorge in pino-erba aree centrali di Washington. Ponderosa Pine Washington (stato) assottigliamento. Durante il periodo di dieci anni di osservazione su questo studio, assottigliamento ha stimolato la crescita di diametro per produrre un prodotto utilizzabile (fig. 2) entro un periodo di tempo ragionevole. Alberi presso la più ampia distanza hanno aggiunto 3 pollici per il loro diametro durante il passato decennio, e alberi distanziati 13.2 e 18.7 piedi sono cresciuti da 1,8 e 2,5 pollici, ri- rispettivamente (fig. 3). Alberi comparabili non diluita in lotti di continuare a crescere solo a metà o un terzo di tali tassi.. Figura 2.-Cros

. Economics of thinning stagnated Ponderosa pine sapling stands in the pine-grass areas of central Washington. Ponderosa pine Washington (State) Thinning. During the 10 years of observation on this study, thinning has stimulated diameter growth to produce a usable product (fig. 2) within a reasonable time. Trees at the widest spacing have added 3 inches to their diameter during the past decade, and trees spaced 13.2 and 18.7 feet have grown 1.8 and 2.5 inches, re- spectively (fig. 3). Comparable trees in unthinned plots continue to grow at only a half or a third of those rates..

During the 10 years, none of the thinned stands have produced as much wood fiber as the unthinned stand (fig. 4). However, there has been an increase in fiber production in thinned stands from the first 5-year period to the second; the growing-stock base is increasing so net cubic growth will probably equal or ex- ceed unthinned stand production in the next decade or so. And most important, in the thinned stand, wood is being added to trees that will grow to usable sizes. In contrast, much of the wood growth in the unthinned stand will be added to trees that will either die or never reach mer- chantability. GROUND COVER The understory in these thickets of ponderosa pine is a sparse stand of spindly shrubs and scattered forbs and grasses (fig. 5). Total air-dry herbage production on the unthinned portion of the study area was about 117 pounds per 1958-63 j 1963-68.
