Abstract

Abstract Foresters often face the challenge of maintaining a flow of timber while managing for nontimber resources.

Based on prior experience and preliminary field reconnaissance, however, it appears that stand prescriptions can be manipulated to control wood rat abundance and feeding behavior.
