The effect of leader damage on lodgepole pine site tree height growth
Site index is an important parameter in forest management. Selecting good site trees is critical for both developing and applying models to estimate site index. Along with other characteristics, site trees must be free of damage so that the growth of the tree reflects the potential productivity of the site. Detecting and avoiding leader damage in site trees is very difficult because radial stem growth eventually hides the damage, even in young trees. This project quantifies the loss in height growth due to hidden leader damage. Thirty-seven lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) site trees were destructively sampled. Annual height growth was measured and incidents of leader damage noted. Height growth was modelled in a mixed-effects framework and allowed for growth reductions due to leader damage. Height growth was reduced on average by 35% in the year the damage occurred and by 15% in the year after the damage event. Height growth returned to normal in subsequent years.

The Canadian Institute of Forestry has published The Forestry Chronicle, a professional and scientific forestry journal, since 1925. The Forestry Chronicle is published to provide information to forest practitioners about professional and scientific management of forests and their resources. The Forestry Chronicle provides forest practitioners in Canada and around the world with a means to communicate with their peers in the professional community.
