Following Thinning- Assessing damage to Silvopasture Trees
Dear Silvopasture Sleuths,
One of our little SP demo/trial/research here continues to move forward. We have had the degraded hardwood stand thinned, understory regen/regrowth controlled and seeding underway.
We want to conduct a 100% inventory of the remaining trees and as part of that assess the damage some incurred during the thinning and brush burning process. Does anyone have protocol/criteria that might help with this, i.e. assessing residual stand damage?
Thank you for your help,
Adam Downing
