To a thinning made in a young stand, no longer capable of significant response to release, for the salvage of dead trees and anticipated mortality as being a sanitation thinning. Crown classification Dominant The tallest trees in the stand. They receive full light from above and part from the side. The well- developed crown may be somewhat crowded on the sides. Codominant These trees are in the upper level of the canopy, but below the dominants. They receive full light from above and a little from the side. The medium- sized crown is frequently crowded on the sides. Intermediate Trees shorter than dominant or codominant, but with tip of crown extending into upper canopy and receiving some direct light from above but none from the sides. Crowns are small and are crowded on the sides. Suppressed Crowns of these trees are below the upper canopy level and they receive no direct light from above nor from the side. Crowns are small and poorly developed. PRUNING All dead and dying limbs should be removed. Pruning of live limbs should progress gradually up the tree trunk as height is increased. It should never exceed more than 1/3 of the crown length nor over 50% of total tree height. It should ultimately be carried to a height of 18 feet in order to produce a clear 16 foot log. Such pruning begun early enough will restrict the knotty core to a diameter of 4 or 5 inches. The costs of the pruning operation require that it be confined to eventual crop trees. The number of trees required per acre for the site at harvest age will indicate the number of trees to be pruned initially. This number should be increased by 20% to provide a safety factor for error and loss during the development of the stand. 1 14 73 si © © 5- © e 73 © © O Si S£ © V. co © S © Q K 'S, *© © 73 PV> • ocioortHO3Heo ^^COOOaoO-'COCOOOONOTJ'^CO •C)OOOCO^COCOM(N(NHHHrHrtrt I-- Site Class IV Site index 120 K>'^OJOO(NCTi(NCOcriCiNN'trHOCsI VC^HOiNMiOOCOcOHCiOONCDiO -OcOMNlO^COCO(N(NlN*HrHrHrHrH I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I I 1 1 1 1 I I 1 1 1 1 1 ! 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 • 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I I- 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 i 1 i 1 1 1 IQOOQQOQ OOOOOOOOO*— iC^JCO'^fcOCO WCC^iftCCNOO^HHHMHHH Eh W 0 M W 0 H 03 < W Pi PQ Eh < w W Pi Eh W 0 Pi w > «! ft, o Pi w Eh W 2 ◄ H- < A e^OOfObH-CiOOiOO-HNC^OGO^O •c; <_ JS NOWCCW05CC«DCO^rHNCO»N 00 CO © CO * i-H co" *d cd od © *-< c*i ' < OQ (N OLN (N CO CO CO C OJCOfNCOC^lOCO^rHCO-HlOCOOW ^’NON'ONC) -C: *— I r—4 r— I •— ( r— I o 'HCO^cdNCOOH (Mcsc^c^c^ojcoeo ‘OO^COOOOONOOCOIONO ^ 05 ' OUONOiOGOCDNNCCOiOiOCDcO co ^^COOOO(N'^iOOOOJ’H(NCO^‘OiO HHHHrtHNNWNNN OOOOhOcO-^OOIONNQOOON TfiO^COHCOCOOOO' 00500100UX)'-oc4co^^ococot>-oo^ o Ma'iOO'000050300NCOCOOt^' «MCO^»OCOON CJO^OiCOOOOOXONC^OJiOHN t-h co* ^* co* t—’ od 05 o i-h oq co co *«tl 10 *o 'OlOO’Cf'COOOOONiOCOO'OHNN ^ icOTfiOco^ooo^O'-H’--c^(roco^ £ COCOOOOOOOSTfHNcOO^O h oi co co n n od o o’ o *■* c © © oo *o © © © iO O0 © 00 © CO © © Sq.fi ^PPPO 2 2 « 2 s s S 8 sf a a o »HTfiOtfOOOOiOO)CvH(OiOCCOO»-'CMOOO‘C’-'N J&i Co s *H N o' (N V CD N Ci o' *-<-< CO co" Q rH «-4 1-1 rH r-( CM CM CM CM CM CM OCCCOC^tOCDCONOiOOJOON^^ •0*OaiN'^«0000>OClWWTfiO«0 C^rH rHr^C^WNWCiWCCCOWMMCO .©©0©Q©0©©©000©0 v»CCCOC^NQiOOO>r'OMX-H‘OW ,1^ iOCMt^©©t^r-W^'COQd)OHa«^*C'0 ^ THrHNNNNNwcocoMrtcow .©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© hJ *0 CO © CM *o © © © »o fh CM © tJh 1^- CM ^CO CO©CO'*t‘Coo^,tONao»-'C^ccrt'^‘0 ^ 1-4 cm cm cm cm cm co co co co co co co ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© ^lO'-uo^ctcM^'-H^^oajcoio r-(*COOOO©CM»0©kOCO©*0*-'© co 4i^^cood©CM^*o©^ad©aT©© ^ HHi-Hi-(f-(HHHi-(CMCM NNtO^NtO'HiONNCC*OWON Oi-^OOi-'CO'Or^OOOiO^C^COrfTf hJ tH^WNNWWWWCCCCCCWW .©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© Hj©co©©©©©©©©^r^*-< — oo 00 ▼“* CO CM © CO CD CC »0 CM 00 tj< © CO % ^i^co^odcj^eo^rtocci^t^Toood© rT i— ( r—i rH rH t— H tH *H rH rH rH rH lO'S'NON'-iCO'H'HOOOCMO •05'f00^c»3i0®l'050— ' — INW^1 «fHNNNNW(N«Kinn»ra .©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© >.iOO»-H»OCO©CC©©©©©©©©'-' **— .CO C0NN’tO^(C'‘CO‘0O co E 1 w w p S »h c*5 1C N 05 »-• oi CO M4*" »C >0 C N N (» ^ »— H rH r-H 1— ( »— ( *— ( rH r-H »— ( rH CM©is'-^co,*j<©CMcocMrH©r'~,**«r-« •a^NON^iCMXOSOOHNW ^ tH^WWINMCSINWWWCCCOCO ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© ^»C©iOiOOiOLCCDNQO't’-'COai ^CM COCM©r^r-HCOCOCMOO»-'©©’^ <&» co o HH ffi p o 55 hH Q p p HH tH ^^couor^ad©*^^co^S2 *o jo © co 0JiCO?CNt005N«NO00»0N00 •XCCNO^^CO'^CDNGCCT'C^O’H'-' ^ Hrt^W(NNWWlNN(NCO«M ©©©©©©©©©©©©oo© hJ CM CO © © © © ^3* © ^ •“* OC QO © *0 ^ rHOJCWNrHCMr-lClCC^OC^aO £ S rH (M* rf co' D- O o’ ’-<•-" (N CO CC Hf tT G rHrHrH^r-HrHrnr-HrH iDO)Nr>r'i)t">i,’Hixi^ ■ooNicxoMni'ooMoagio 3S, HHHNMCTNNNNNINNn ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© nJ©co»o*^4ao©©F-HF^oooo©f^F^-^' ©r-.»000©©00»0©i0©c0t^© % p HS* •M CM-^IO ® » C?oT O — — CM CM CM W O rHrHrHrHrHrHrH rHCMcor^*C’-<’'t,»o*0'»t,^oo»o»-»r>- •OOCM»Ot'~©«--,-©CM»o % ^ r-< co rf *o *o © r>T oo oo oo c» © c> O *0 CM CO Ob CO’*f^CM©©COOOCOOO ^•NOCO‘OCOCOOO^^(MW«^^ ^ rH rH rH rH rH rH CM CM CM CM CM CM CM CM ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© >J,CM>HCM^OCMrH-(N0C00’tO^Q CO*O^CM©iO©H3«r^©cOCCQO© «■ ^ rH cm co »o co © © i^T r^T iC od ^COHO^ONIOWOCPMCOCON ^•COaCMrfiCtONCOOlOO'HrHC^N ^ »-Hi— ir-Hi— (i— iCMCMCMCMCMCM ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© hJ cm CO *-* © © 00 © *0 Tf* © CO t}h cm ^*0 COr-(GO*0©*OOcO©©r-HCOlO© <5?

Gross Yield and Mortality Tables for Fully-stocked Stands of Douglas-fir Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station Research Paper No. 14 9 EXAMPLES OF MORTALITY CALCULATIONS Example One: 70 year old stand site III First thinning at age 70 Thinning interval - 10 years From Table VI, mortality for period 70-80 years - 3,000 bd. ft. This anticipated mortality volume including any dead merchantable trees may be removed at age 70. Example Two: Second thinning same stand at 80 years From Table VI, mortality for period 80-90 years, 3,300 bd. ft. This anticipated mortality volume may be removed in the second thinning at age 80. Example Three: Age of stand 90 years, site III Length rotation 100 years Average age at time of cutting 120 years From Table IX Cumulative mortality 120 years 24,700 bd. ft. Cumulative mortality 90 years 13 , 600 bd. ft. Anticipated mortality which may be removed in first and only thinning at 90 years of age 11,100 bd. ft. CRUISING All thinnings will be cruised 100%. The tally sheets, Form No. A-87 (Exhibit e) , can easily be used for cruis- ing thinnings. However, any type of tally sheet may be used, as the cruiser sees fit. Trees need be tallied only by DBH in 2" classes from 8" to 20,! (20M class includes trees with 21.9” DBH) and total height to the nearest 101 - no form class and no log grade. Of course, it will be neces- sary to keep notes on any cull material present. Volumes are quite easily determined by multiplying each tally by the volume of each DBH-Height category as found in the volume table (Exhibit a) . Logs will not be graded. 10 APPRAISALS 1 . General The same general system used for appraising regular Douglas- fir sales will be used for appraising thin- nings. That is, the milling and logging costs will be deducted from the realization value to determine a conversion return which is multiplied by .50 to derive the stumpage value. 2. Realization Values As pointed out in the section on cruising, there will not be different realization values for different log grades or diameters. Only one realization value will be determined and it will be effective for the range of DBH classes up to 20". Material larger than this should be cruised and appraised under the conventional system. 3. Milling Costs Use one milling cost, that for the group of logs having the range of lowest volumes, those up to 80 board feet, for all thinning sales. (Timber Sales Handbook, Chapter III-F, Exhibit a) 4. Logging Costs Falling, bucking, yarding, loading per Mbf - $18.90. A weight equivalent of 11,000 lbs. per M bd.ft. Scribner Decimal C is used as the key to the transportation cost tables . Pond value: November 18, 1963 $39.50 5. Conversion Factor Scribner Decimal C Volume for Reporting Purposes When the occasion arises in which it is necessary to determine the volume of the material in thinnings in terms of the Scribner Decimal C rule, the International 1/8 inch rule volume should be multiplied by the convert- ing factor of .8. 11 UNITED STATES Form No. Al-o/ department of the interior Computer Sale No. BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT October 1961 .
