Content
Only item in folder A660 is a workplan by Halkett dated 5.9.75 comprising text with tables and graphs, 16pp, tables in appendix. Objective was to develop a thinning prescription for second growth kauri stands after constructing a thinning model for a normal all-aged stand, and summarising and analysing current and past kauri thinning trials. Tables list sample plots, indicating response to thinning and give growth data, also data for a normal all-aged kauri pole stand (unthinned). Production thinning was done over 5.3 ha of Cmpt 26, Russell Forest (SPA 414). Thinning operations were to be initiated in Glenbervie Forest.
Future Work
Greg Steward has recently measured plots in Russell Forest
