The Lucille Mountain Study 8-year Results of a Silvicultural Systems Trial in the Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir zone

This paper presents the 8-year results of a silvicultural systems trial at Lucille Mountain in British Columbia's Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir zone. The study investigates the effects of different logging methods like clearcutting, patch cutting, and various partial cuts on climate, regeneration, tree growth, wind damage, arboreal lichens, and litter decomposition. The research highlights the complex environmental responses to forest harvesting in this high-elevation ecosystem and provides initial insights for better managing these sensitive forests, including considerations for reforestation practices and the challenges of adaptive management.
