ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to select, using operational research techniques, management regimes of Pinus taeda L. that maximize the revenue generated by the wood, considering different attractiveness rates. The OpTimber-LP® software, which performs the simulations using SisPinus® software, was used for forest optimization. The regimes consisted of different combinations of forest sites, planting densities, thinning regimes and clearcutting ages, totaling 17,760 regimes per site. Wood production was quantified and evaluated by assortment classes. Planting, thinning and harvesting c

Abstract:
Climate change is producing threats to forests’ capacity of regulating water regimes. Therefore, thinning strategies can be applied to mitigate climate change impacts more efficiently by providing more spaces for trees to utilize resources e.g., water and nutrients. This study examined the effects of different thinning intensities and intervals on water characteristics and biomass growth of a 75-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies) stand in the Black Forest, Germany.

A silvicultural regime refers to the planned sequence of treatments applied to a forest stand, which mainly includes pruning and thinning regimes. The latter is a silvicultural practice that is important for the management of forest growth, composition, structure, and health. Despite the ecological and silvicultural importance of thinning, its limited application in plantation forests has constrained the effective management of woody species density and abundance. Thus, the aim of this research was to assess the influence of the thinning regime on woody species density and abundance. This stud

Abstract:
The Faustmann–Hartman setup is widely established for specifying the economics of forest values besides timber, but it is criticized as restrictive for capturing diversity values. We show that extending the model to cover diversity attributes, i.e., mixed species and internal heterogeneity within species, is not enough to overcome these restrictions. Additionally, it is necessary to extend forest harvesting regimes to cover thinning, continuous cover forestry, and the management of commercially useless trees. Restrictions in the Faustmann–Hartman setup are first shown analytically with optimiz

Abstract In southeastern Arkansas, pine growth was monitored for 19 yr after mechanically strip thinning a dense, naturally regenerated, even-aged stand of 6-yr-old loblolly pines (Pinus taeda L.) and shortleaf pines (P. echinata Mill.) that averaged 16,600 stems/ac. Prescribed winter burns were conducted biennially between ages 9 and 20 yr and at 24 yr. Commercial thinnings during the 17th and 23rd growing seasons left a residual stocking of either 85 ft2/ac or 200 crop trees/ac (75 ft2/ac) in merchantable-sized (> 3.5 in. dbh) pines on plots that were precommercially thinned and on plots

Abstract:
Planting white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) under established aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands has substantial potential for regenerating mixedwood ecosystems in the western Canadian boreal forest. The presence of an aspen overstory serves to ameliorate frost and winter injury problems and suppresses understory vegetation that may compete with white spruce. Under future climatic regimes with more frequent and severe drought episodes, underplanting may be a cost-effective strategy for lowering the risk of mortality in mixedwood regeneration. We examine the growth of white spruce

Abstract:
Monitoring the effects of stand thinning on microclimates is an integral part of any thinning experiment. It is through its modifications of microclimates that thinning alters important ecological processes. An efficient analysis of microclimate-monitoring data should address both the effects of thinning regimes on, and the temporal response trends of, microclimates. Probably because of the difficulties in modeling temporal trends parametrically, an examination of the existing literature on thinning showed that only a few studies have attempted to address the second aspect.

Monoterpenes are crucial to floral and fruit aromas in grapes and wines. Cluster thinning is a common practice for improving grape quality. Using Vitis vinifera cv. Muscat Hamburg, the effects of three cluster-thinning regimes on the biosynthesis and accumulation of monoterpenes from véraison to harvest were investigated at the transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics levels. It was observed that more intense thinning produced higher concentrations of total monoterpenes, particularly in their bound forms.

In 1986, a thinning trial was established in a 9-year-old jack pine stand near Dryden, Ontario. Four blocks consisting of five thinning regimes (1 m × 1 m, 1.5 m × 1.5 m, 2 m × 2 m, 2.5 m × 2.5 m, 3 m × 3 m) and a control plot were established using a randomized complete block design. Once thinned, a series of measurements were taken in 1986 and repeated in 1991 to determine growth and form responses. Results identified highly significant responses for DBH growth and individual stem volume growth. Height response did not vary among the spacing levels. Changes in crown dimensions and stem taper

Our approach to thinning has changed over the last 50 years: why? (Essay) Thinning methods and principles have always fluctuated between an approach based on moderate interventions, aimed at maintaining a sufficient stocking level (the so-called “volume effect”) and the liberation of crowns of a limited number of trees. Nowadays Schädelin's concept of selective thinning focused on trees with high potential for the future, based on the efficient removal of those competitors which cause the most interference, is widely accepted.

A bivariate approach was used to construct the models, based on DBH data from the initial stand and from the same trees at future points in time.
