Abstract
Canadian Forest Service scientists at the Atlantic Forestry Centre (AFC) have quantified white pine (Pinus strobus) productivity and weevil damage under three silvicultural treatments (STs). Forest professionals are interested in managing for increased white pine productivity and regeneration, but concern about weevil damage and blister rust has reduced regeneration efforts. This is one of the first experiments to thoroughly quantify and compare the trade-off between weevil protection and growth using different levels of shade provided by an overhead or canopy nurse crop.
