Montane alternative silvicultural systems (MASS) forest structure and natural vegetation dynamics

This project is one of several focussed on investigating aspects of silvicultural systems being compared at the MASS study area in coastal montane forests. Clearcutting, Green Tree Retention, Shelterwood and Patch Cutting create different forest structure and microclimates that may affect natural regeneration and vegetation succession.
