EP703 Forest Productivity Plots
Location: Vancouver Forest Region, British Columbia
Description: EP703 is BC's largest experiment looking at thinning and fertilization in
coastal Douglas-fir and western hemlock stands. In 1971-73 940 permanent sample plots
(0.04-0.10 ha in size) were established at 85 locations. Several thinning and
fertilization treatments were conducted at each site with each treatment replicated on a
site (though treatments vary between sites). Regular measurements have been conducted on
the plots. In the orginal measurements only the dead trees condition at the first
measurement after death was noted. Starting in 1994, dead trees are followed through time
for presence and ocularly estimated height if bole breakage occurred.
Major Tree Species:
- Pseudotsuga menziesii Douglas-fir
- Tsuga heterophylla western hemlock
Minor Tree Species:
- Thuja plicata western redcedar
Data Type: Permanent sample plot
Typical Measurement Dates: 1972 1975 1978 1981 1984 1990 1996
Future Measurements: Yes on most plots
Dead Tree Data Collected: standing/down, height to breakage
Measurements Prior to Death: dbh, pathological indicators, some heights
