Abstract
In the early 1960s, Gordon Weetman, a silviculture specialist at Paprican (Woodlands Research Department), established some experimental plots north of Baie-Comeau. One of his objectives was to determine the effect that thinning would have on the growth and yield of a 60-year-old black spruce forest. These plots were revisited in 2001 by researchers from the Canadian Forest Service to examine the long-term impact of this management practice.
