The authors installed plots in a nine-year-old Douglas-fir plantation established after clearcutting a grossly overstocked stand. One plot sampled the slash-burned portion. In the nonburned portion, two plots were in areas thinned three years earlier by machete combined with pulling small seedlings, and four were in areas thinned by chainsaw. Stumps with sprouts averaged 5,665 per acre in saw-thinned plots and only 250 per acre in plots thinned by machete and pulling. Most seedlings and sprouts were western hemlock. Machete cutting and pulling proved more effective than chainsaws for reducing stem density. Slash burning destroyed most new seedlings.
