Microclimate Studies In Mountain Pine Beetle Damaged Silvicultural Systems On The Chilcotin Plateau

The objectives of this study were to: 1. compare the key environmental variables between blocks (elevational effect) and treatments (clearcut and irregular group shelterwood with whole-tree harvesting partial cut), and between microsites within partial cut openings (north and south edges and centre); and 2. examine temporal changes occurring to environmental variables in the context of the changing biological environment.
