Pack Forest Group Pathways

Silvicultural Pathways

Fifteen realistic silvicultural pathways have been developed for each of the six groups. A wide range of pathways were created to consider the different possible stand structures that could be obtained through time. The Treatment Scheduling Worksheets below summarize scheduling and prescriptions for each pathway. For certain pathways, visualizations of the stand through time are available. Definitions are available at the bottom of the page.

Definitions

Below BYDBH- Thinning by removing the smallest diameter trees and leaving the largest diameter trees.

PLANT- Dominant species planted and or expected to naturally regenerate and number of trees planted per acre.

PROP BYDBH- Thinning by removing approximately equal proportion of trees from each diameter class.

Prune-Number of trees pruned per acre.

TPA- Number of trees per acre remaining following harvest.

Weeding- Removing all hardwoods from the stand either through the implementation of aerial spray, hand pestcides, or hand slashing.
