Objective:
-
To determine the effects of initial espacement (plantation density) on the
growth and yield of western larch.
Experimental Design:
Treatments:
-
Five espacements (500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 trees per hectare) are tested.
Layout:
-
Randomized complete-block design
-
Three replicates (blocks), each consisting of five treatment plots
-
Plots are square, variable size (depending on espacement) and contain 12
rows of 12 trees.
History:
-
1994 plantation establishment.
-
1998 five-year assessment.
-
1999 establishment and five-year progress report.
-
1999 classified biogeoclimatically.
Status: Active
