PINE PLANTATION: Research and Monitoring Needs

Research is needed within the planning unit on the influence of clearcut size on breeding bird communities.

Research is needed on the influence of site preparation techniques, stocking levels, and other sylvicultural practices on breeding bird communities.

Research is needed on the influence of timing and techniques of tree harvest on breeding bird communities.

Research is needed to examine the economic/wildlife tradeoffs in open-canopy management.

Research is needed to evaluate the influence of 1) stocking rates, 2) time to first commercial thin, and 3) time to final harvest on wildlife value of pine plantations.
