Excerpt from Growth of Ponderosa Pine Thinned to Different Stocking Levels in Northern Arizona This study demonstrates that the ability of Rocky Mountain ponderosa pine (pinus ponderosa var. Scopulorum Engelm.) to respond to stand treatment pro vides considerable flexibility for the manager to choose initial stand management strategies. Furthermore, it still permits future changes as management objectives or market conditions change. Early predictions (schubert 1971) and the 20-year results presented here differ considerably, indicating that volume production estimates covering long periods of time should be interpreted with care. Management guidelines involving intermediate entries, however, can be formulated with a greater degree of certainty. For example, the study results suggest that a reasonable cutting cycle would be about 20 years, provided that there is a roundwood market when the second thinning is made. For sawtimber yields, in contrast, the minimum elapsed time between the first and second thinning appears to be about 30 years, with longer cut ting cycles necessary if a minimum diameter limit of greater than 7 inches cm) is desired.
