Group selection management in conifer forests: relationships between opening size and tree growth (2004, methodology): “The increase in seedling growth with harvested opening size that we found is a commonly observed relationship across multiple forest types (Minkler and Woerhide 1965; Gray and Spies 1996; Van Der Meer et al. 1999; Coates 2000).”
Manipulation of density of Pseudotsuga menziesii canopies: preliminary effects on understory vegetation (2001, background): “The size of our treatment subplots (1600 m2) was well within the 1000- 2000 m2 range that Coates (2000) found adequate to promote regeneration and growth of both shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant conifers in northern temperate forests; however, it is too early to tell if tree seedlings can…”
Modelling silvicultural alternatives for conifer regeneration in boreal mixedwood stands (aspen/white spruce/balsam fir) (2002, background): “The first criterion for successful understory planting is adequate survival of the planted trees until growing conditions are improved by partial or complete overstory canopy removal (Coates 2000).”
