P2-A3 Regeneration management and stand tending

Regeneration management and stand tending help establish and maintain site-adapted tree species and desired species proportions throughout stand development.

Introduction

Promoting site-adapted tree species includes selecting and encouraging tree species that are well suited to local site conditions while considering future climate change. Choosing the right species for the right site can improve establishment, growth, and climate change adaptation. Site-adapted species can be promoted through natural regeneration, planting, regeneration management, and stand tending. The regeneration phase provides an important starting point for establishing site-adapted species, but management beyond this phase is often needed to maintain desired species proportions throughout stand development. Tending practices, such as thinning and pruning, can help promote desired species proportions. Important considerations for implementation include assessing site conditions, selecting appropriate tree species and provenances, and adapting management as environmental conditions change.
