- •
Growth and mortality of older stands were studied in 602 mature-overmature PSPs.
- •
More than half of the PSPs had increasing volume over the 20-year period.
- •
Stands dominated by balsam fir had highest mortality and minimum PAI.
- •
Wind related causes resulted in more than 56% of mortality for all stand types.
- •
Species (balsam fir) had more effect on stand dynamics than stand category.
