“…Several studies have documented both short-term and longterm increases in conifer diameter growth after manual cutting or herbicide applications (e.g., Sutton 1995;Harper et al 1997a, b;Biring et al 1999Biring et al , 2001Simard et al 2001;Fu et al 2007;Rose and Ketchum 2003). In our study treated spruce seedlings exhibited a significant increase in groundline diameter from the end of the 2 nd growing season after treatment until year 7.…”

“…In most published conifer release studies, increases in survival and growth of individual conifers have been observed where competing vegetation was successfully controlled (e.g., Stewart et al 1984, Chen et al 2006, Wagner and Robinson 2006, Fu et al 2007. The resulting conifer volumes as measured by individual stems, however, are highly variable .…”

“…Regardless of the level of demand for the resource, forest managers need to be able to accurately predict the effects of silvicultural practices on stand composition and standlevel volume of all commercial species. Unfortunately, most publications focus on growth data for individual conifers and few present stand-level merchantable yields (e.g., Fu et al 2007).…”

“…Competition control typically improves crop tree growth in northern temperate and southern boreal forests and can be accomplished in a number of ways including the use of herbicides (Walstad and Kuch 1987, Munson et al 1995, Thompson and Pitt 2003, Chen et al 2006, Fu et al 2007. Aerial application of herbicides, such as glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl] glycine), has been widely used in North America to control competing vegetation with the objective of increasing conifer growth (Walstad and Kuch 1987).…”
