Title:	Behavior of ground vegetation under a partially cut stand of Douglas-fir.
Author(s):	Krueger, Kenneth W.
Date:	1960
Source:	PNW Old Series Research Notes No. 198, p. 1-3
Station ID:	OSN-PNW-198
Description:	Environmental changes resulting from logging in the Douglas-fir region often create ideal growing conditions for many woody and herbaceous plants. A rapid increase of brush and low vegetation, in turn, can seriously hinder efforts to establish a new stand. Consequently, one argument against partial cutting in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is that it opens the forest canopy sufficiently to stimulate growth of ground vegetation and thus makes future stand regeneration more difficult.
