Abstract
Over the past few years, white pine management in Quebec has moved from diameter-limit cutting and clear cutting to silvicultural treatments that are more concerned with regeneration of these forests and are better adapted to the structure and phytosanitary condition of stands. The goal is to achieve sustained yield in management units by ensuring forest regeneration and maintenance of, or increase in, stem quality in the residual stands through the application of appropriate treatments by wood fiber users. To continue to improve management methods in order to take maximum advantage of the potential of wood production in existing stands, use of the concept of diameter of maturity instead of age of maturity for determining stem and stand maturity is proposed. Key words: Forest management, standards, white pine, diameter of maturity, age of maturity
