Abstract

Regeneration of forest stands is often complicated by the establishment and competition of brush on logged and burned-over areas. The encroachment of brush in the ponderosa pine type of Idaho, particularly Ceanothus velutinus, Dougl. presents a difficult problem to the forest manager. The brush competition severely reduces the growth rate of associated trees, thus extending the period necessary to grow a crop of trees. This situation may seriously limit the economic production of a wood crop of ponderosa pine.
