Timber Management : Intermediate Stand Page 1 of 2If left unchecked, overcrowding conditions cause growth to slow leading to high risk of loss, and detrimental im-pact to economic investment. Stand density should be re-duced before stagnation occurs. Poor quality trees should be removed (through a practice called thinning) to real-locate site resources to the ultimate crop trees. While it would be nice to wait until trees had attractive economic value (merchantable) before a thinning was conducted, the biological requirements of the site may require that a pre-commercial thinning be conducted before trees reach merchantable size. Pre-commercial thinning is costly, but when applied properly, is a financially sound decision. ISM harvests that thin out merchantable trees are called commercial thinnings and provide some immediate in-come to the landowner.
