Abstract
The 10-year results would suggest that no additional biomass retention restrictions are necessary for full-tree harvesting operations that are targeting traditional wood products (sawlogs and/or pulp & paper) on these shallow-soiled sites. However, some of the noted shifts in some of the measured parameters between year 5 and 10 would suggest longer-term monitoring of these sites will be necessary to provide more conclusive empirical evidence as to the long-term effects of full-tree harvesting on shallow soils within the boreal forest region.
