 clear out 12 on Coram 

 Exper-imental Forest. 

 Only half of each 

 cutting was burned. 



logged in 1974. .Each block was further divided into four subblocks, in which four 

 different standards of timber and residue utilization were employed (fig. 1). Of the 

 four subblocks, only No. 1 and 2 were broadcast burned (fig. 2), and this study was 

 limited to them. A description of the two utilization standards applied to the burned 

 subblocks in each block follows: 



Subblock 



Trees Cut 



Utilization Standard 



All trees except 

 designated overstory 

 shelterwood trees 



All material (live and dead, 

 standing and down) to 3 inch 

 (7.6 cm) dia., 8 foot (2.4 m) 

 length, and 1/3 sound removed, 



All trees except 

 designated overstory 

 shelterwood trees. 



Sawtimber material (live and 

 recently dead) to 1974 Forest 

 Service standards : 7 inch 

 (17.8 cm) d.b.h., 8 foot (2.4 m) 

 length, and 1/3 sound removed. 



The timber type on the study area is larch--Douglas-fir (Cover Type 212, Society 

 of American Foresters 1954). This type is composed primarily of western larch and 

 Douglas-fir. Associated species include subalpine fir {Abies lasiocarpa [Hook.] Nutt.)
