The goal of this thinning was not to remove the
biggest trees, just to remove half of the trees, or every other
row. Please remember that this data is based on a single sample
point. This 50% thinning operation just happened to remove 3 of
the 4 most valuable (biggest) trees at this sample point. Statistically,
other sample points might show that most of the larger trees were
left to grow.
* Growth data represented here is based on one
prism point sample within the harvested stand. Monetary data is
based on 2003 dollars and timber values. Actual payments to landowners
are generally 50% of gross payments, but vary widely with distance
to mills, terrain, harvest size, etc.
