PLATE 1 
A. —Cut-over stand of western yellow pine on a south-facing slope. The 
presence of saplings and small-sized trees gives the appearance of a “selection” 
cutting. The opening and the absence of a ground cover of shrubs is typical of 
ridges. Payette National Forest (plot 1). 
B. —Heavy cutting on a north-facing slope. After six years reproduction is 
still deficient on this area (plot 2), a condition evidently due to the inability of 
the small-sized trees left after cutting to supply sufficient seed.
