Effects of radial growth rate on outerwood properties of coastal Douglas-fir in healthy stands versus stands impacted by Swiss needle cast

A common belief in forestry is that rapid growth in coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) results in decreased outerwood quality. In Oregon, the opposite pattern has been reported for stands affected by Swiss needle cast, whereby a native fungus causes premature n...
