Crown length is a fundamental tree dimension for characterizing growth potential, wildlife habitat, and wood quality. The relative rates of height growth and crown recession determine the progression of crown length over time. We investigated patterns in crown recession of three co-occurring species in the northern Rocky Mountains: western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougl. ex D. Don), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex...

Two mixed-species spacing trials were established in central Oregon to test the effects of species composition and initial spacing on stand growth, yield, and structural development. One trial was composed of Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. and Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws. and the other Abies grandis (Dougl. ex D. Don) Lindl. and P. ponderosa. Spacing, species composition, and age all had large influences on standing volume...
