Effects of precommercial thinning on snowshoe hares in Maine

Article Abstract:

The effects of precommercial thinning (PCT) from 1 to 11 years posttreatment on snowshoe hares in the commercial forests of northern Maine, USA, are studied. Densities of hares are lower in stands treated with PCT than in similar unthinned stands and during both leaf-off and leaf-on seasons, and in both thinned and unthinned stands, hare density is greatest in stands in the 1-year development class which compared to the 6-year and 11-year development class.

Electric fencing as a measure to reduce moose-vehicle collisions
