Book Description
Three pine release experiments were begun in northern Minnesota in the 1930's. Two experiments compared the response of pines to full, moderate, and no release from competing hardwoods; the third compared only moderate and no release. Eighteen to twenty-five years later the pines responded most favorably on the full release treatments, intermediate on moderate release, and least favorably with no release. Financial aspects are briefly discussed and indicate that release, as done in these experiments is one of the better investments to be made in forestry.
