Description: Management of logging residue is becoming an important part of timber sale planning. This involves controlling the amount of residue remaining on the ground and its distribution by diameter size class. Some residue is beneficial.

An interdisciplinary team specified a desired residue level for one clearcutting unit of this trial. For comparison another cutting unit was given a specified residue level approximately 30 percent greater, and another unit 30 percent lower.
