Coarse woody debris in Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon and Washington

Amounts and structural characteristics of coarse woody debris (CWD) were examined in relation to stand age and site moisture condition in 196 Pseudotsuga menziesii stands in western Oregon and Washington. Stands ranged from 40 to 900 yr old, and most if not all, originated after fire. In a chronoseq...

Zusammenfassung:	Amounts and structural characteristics of coarse woody debris (CWD) were examined in relation to stand age and site moisture condition in 196 Pseudotsuga menziesii stands in western Oregon and Washington. Stands ranged from 40 to 900 yr old, and most if not all, originated after fire. In a chronosequence from the Cascade range, the amount of CWD followed a U-shaped pattern for stands
