An experimental project was established in 1957 at a site about 20 kilometres north-west of Nakusp, British Columbia, to study the effects of partial cutting on complex stands in the interior cedar-hemlock zone. This report presents results observed over the first 40 years of the experiment and updates the 15-year results reported by Thompson (1977). Results are presented for individual trees & the entire stand with regard to growth, mortality, and stand development in response to three partial cutting treatments: improvement cut, diameter-limit cut, and salvage cut.

The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. In British Columbia's Inland Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and present strategies for its management and conservation.
