Once trees are planted, usually competing vegetation is controlled with herbicides. However, that competing vegetation may be especially valuable for wildlife at many levels. The experiment relies on a control and three levels of herbicide application. In each treatment area, we are observing plant, bird, invertebrate, and deer and elk abundance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-144 alignleft\" alt=\"Slide1\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/intensiveforestmanagement\/files\/2013\/07\/Slide11-e1373492129892-300x258.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1628\/files\/2013\/07\/Slide11-e1373492129892-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1628\/files\/2013\/07\/Slide11-e1373492129892.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also built fences in each treatment area to examine the effects of removing deer and elk. \u00a0In half of the fenced area, a net also excludes birds.
