Abstract

Experimental release cuttings to favour white spruce in 15- to 60-year-old white spruce-trembling aspen stands have shown that diameter increment and in certain instances height increment of the spruce was doubled; merchantable volume production per acre was, on the average, increased by about 60 per cent. These findings are of special interest in the Prairie Provinces, where the spruce-aspen cover type forms the principal source of white spruce.
