Findings from 15 silvicultural trials and numerous ecological studies have been made available in reports published by the Faculty of Forestry at UBC in 1994, 1996, and 2002. A Field Guide to Regeneration of Salal-dominated Cedar-Hemlock Sites was published in 1996. A Stand Establishment Decision Aid has been developed with FORREX and is available for download here or the direct link is provided below.
