GROWTH FOLLOWING CLilARCUTTING. 



The object of this portion of tlie study wa8 to 

 determine the composition and growth as to height, 

 diameter and volume of the stand of hardwoods formed 

 after clearoutting. 



A portion of the lower slopes of the hardwood 

 slope type was found which had been cut clear of 

 all trees about 25 years ago. The purpose of the 

 clearcutting was to supply fuel wood to a nearby 

 hauling camp. 



A series of six one- tenth acre sample plots 

 were laid out on those portions of the area which 

 originally had been densely or fairly densely stock- 

 ed. All trees, both dead and living, were calipered 

 by inches and tenths, beginning at one inch D.6. H. 

 After all the trees had been tallied, the mean 

 sample tree was determined by means of basal area* 

 (Total basal area divided by the number of trees.) 

 This mean sample tree was found in the stand and 

 cut at the root collar^and measurements taken £or 

 the use of pressler*s and Schiffel's formulae.
