Record updated:
Damage from tractor logging and slash burning in a Douglas-fir stand on gentle terrain was measured for three different types of timber harvesting. Logging damage was light in the selection-cut and understory-removal cutting units. In the overstory-removal unit, about 11 percent of the leave trees were killed by logging. Little damage from burning was incurred in the selection-cut and understory-removal units, but in the overstory-removal unit an additional 56 percent was killed by burning.
