Abstract

Good vegetation management requires a basic understanding of the ecological characteristics of individual competitors and how they respond to silvicultural treatments. This report documents what is currently known about the response of major species of competing vegetation in British Columbia to various silvicultural treatments now in use. The information has been gathered from a variety of published and unpublished sources, and through conversations with researchers and practitioners in vegetation management in related fields.
