摘要

The Glentress Trial Area, established in 1952, is a long term experiment of the transformation of even-aged plantations to continuous cover management in upland, coniferous forest. This paper examines the structure of the Trial Area in 2008 and changes since 1990. The stem diameter distributions for each of six trial Blocks (-20 ha each) continue to have a 'reverse-J' shape and this study confirms, for the first time, that this is also the case at much smaller spatial scales. There has only been a small increase in basal area between 1990 and 2008 indicating that thinning and growth are in balance. However, despite few changes in basal area there has been a decrease in the number of trees. The main reason for the reduction in the number of trees isthat in four of the six Blocks there is insufficient recruitment of saplings into trees to sustain the 'reverse-J' structures. It is also clear that Sitka spruce is increasingly dominant in the canopy, saplings and seedlings in the Trial. The results ofthis analysis of structural change have been addressed in a new management plan.
