Thinning Southern Pines - A Key to Greater Returns by Chris Demers, Michael Andreu, Babe McGowan, Alan Long, Jarek Nowak

“…Diameter growth rates are maintained or increased on residual trees after thinning, which increases the return on investment from higher-value trees. Biologically, thinning accelerates stand development by favoring the tallest, best-formed trees over those that are diseased, overtopped, crooked, forked, or otherwise undesirable and likely to die on their own if left in the stand long enough. …”
