Graham, Russell T. influence of tree and site factors on western redcedar's 



response to release: a modeling analysis. Res. Pap. INT-296. Ogden, UT: U.S. 

 Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Intermountain Forest and Range 

 Experiment Station; 1982. 19 p. 



Fifteen western redcedar stands were sampled to determine the magnitude 

 and duration of growth response to release treatments. Site factors such as slope 

 and aspect were related to the growth response, as were tree characteristics such 

 as age and diameter at breast height. In addition both foliage characteristics and 

 soil characteristics were related to the growth response.
