Book excerpt: Excerpt from Levels-of-Growing-Stock Study in Thinned Western Larch Pole Stands in Eastern Oregon In terms of timber management, the primary factor influencing the residual stocking level is the forester's estimate of the minimum size tree that will be merchantable in the future. The larger the trees must be to support a commercial thinning, the fewer trees should be left after precommercial thinning; and conversely, if smaller trees are merchantable, the residual stocking should be higher. Western larch (larix occidentalis Nutt.) is a valuable seral species in the mixed conifer forests of north eastern Oregon because of its fast growth rate and desirable wood proper ties. Even-aged larch stands generally become established following fire or other forest disturbances. These stands are often heavily overstocked as seedlings. Stand density control by thinning is an essential part of the management of young larch stands. Because of the shade intolerance of larch, tree crowns in unthinned stands are reduced in size resulting in a decrease in rates of diameter and height growth as early as 9 years of age (schmidt The increasing utilization of larch and other species and the associated intensification of forest management raises questions regarding suitable stocking level regimes for managed larch stands.

Book excerpt: Research interest in the forests of Oregon and Washington east of the Cascade Range can be traced back to 1897, when Fredrick V. Coville of the Division of Forestry, U.S. Department of Agriculture, reconnoitered the Cascade Range Forest Reserve to report on forest growth and sheep grazing there in an 1898 report. Subsequent forest survey in the late 1890s and early 1900s was stimulated by anticipation of the timber boom that would follow arrival of a railroad. In 1908, Gifford Pinchot's new Forest Service sent young Thornton Taft Munger to study the encroachment of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud.) on the more valuable ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) stands. By the end of the year, Munger was in charge of the North Pacific District's one-man Section of Silvics, which evolved to become the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station in 1924 with him at the helm. The forest research effort east of the Cascade Range picked up speed with establishment in 1931 of the Pringle Falls Experimental Forest to research the ecologically and economically viable silvicultural systems that would convert the stagnant old-growth forests into more-productive secondgrowth forests. During the ensuing six and one-half decades, a small group of Forest Service researchers and their university counterparts working at the experimental forest and, beginning in 1963, the Bend Silviculture Laboratory, pioneered and pursued the practical silvicultural research that both led and responded to the evolution of their science.
