Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the lumber and veneer recovery from intensively managed young-growth Douglas fir. It contributes to the broader understanding of how forest management regimes affect the quality of wood produced. The author details the results of a study of over 300 trees selected from 15 stands in western Oregon and Washington representing a wide range of growing conditions, sites, ages, and stocking history. Models predicting lumber and veneer product recovery as a function of young-growth log characteristics are presented, along with an evaluation of the effect of juvenile wood on lumber degrade due to warp. The book concludes that characteristics of young-growth Douglas fir that can be affected by management will affect the quality of structural lumber and veneer that can be produced from the resource.
