This study, based on an in depth personal k:nONledge gained over years of involverrent with the prograrme's develop:rait and administration, provided the frarrework for this present publica­ tion.

However, little is known about the dynamics of natural regeneration in these forests. To understand future stand structure and composition, I investigated the regeneration dynamics and growth of interior Douglas-fir post-disturbance, and the influence of growing space availability on the dynamics of interior Douglas-fir regeneration and growth.
