28 How might this forest have looked when it was young?
29 General Model of Forest Stand Development (Oliver 1981, Oliver and Larson 1996) Stand Initiation Stage Stem Exclusion Stage Understory Reinitiation Stage Old Growth Stage Establishment Thinning Transition Shifting Mosaic Spies (1997) Reorganization Aggradation Transition Steady State Bormann & Likens (1979)
30 Growth and Stand Density Density, ages, and growth rates in old-growth and young-growth forests in coastal Oregon (Tappeiner et al. 1997) Hypothesis: Large-diameter old-growth Douglas-fir trees in central western Oregon developed at stand densities lower than stand densities typical for young stands at present.
31 Previous Speculation about Old-Growth Douglas-fir and Low Stand Densities Long and/or multiple periods of establishment Franklin and Waring 1980, Means 1982, Yamaguchi 1986 Long, deep tree crowns [We] think that existing old-growth originally developed in stands that were understocked; under such conditions, branch systems might persist much lower in the crown. (Franklin et al. 1981) Individual tree stability Old-growth stands containing very tall trees (e.g., Douglas-firs) may be special cases of stands which began with few trees at wide spacings which permitted them to maintain stability. (Oliver and Larson 1996)
32 Diameter growth and age measured on 505 recently cut old-growth Douglas-fir trees at 28 sites in western Oregon (Poage 2001, Poage and Tappeiner 2002)

46 Bureau of Land Management s Density Management Study (DMS) (Cissel et al. 2006) The foundation underlying the DMS lies in findings that old-growth forests may have developed differently than current young managed stands (Tappeiner et al. 1997; Bailey and Tappeiner 1998; Poage and Tappeiner 2001). Many old-growth stands apparently initiated at relatively low densities, as evident by rapid diameter growth rates over the first 100 years (Tappeiner et al. 1997; Poage and Tappeiner 2001).
