Natural Regeneration of Small Patch Cuts in a Southern Interior ICH Forest by Jean Heineman Book PDF Summary
Almost all harvested sites in the interior cedar hemlock (ICH) zone of British Columbia are currently planted, but natural regeneration can be a viable reforestation alternative in small patch cuts or where a partial canopy is retained. This report describes a project in which five small, variable-sized patch cuts in an ICH forest were studied to determine the effects of opening size, edge characteristics, and substrate quality on the distribution & composition of natural regeneration. Results are presented & discussed regarding regeneration at four years after harvest.
