Popis: Plots were thinned each month for 1 year in a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) plantation and western hemlock (Tsugaheterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) stand. Stumps colonized by Fomesannosus (Fr.) Karst. declined from an average of 82% in Douglas-fir and 62% in hemlock, 6 months after thinning, to 4 and 9%, respectively, 5 years after thinning. In 7 Douglas-fir and 14 hemlock stumps, F. annosus had colonized one or more primary roots and the stumps were a source of inoculum for new infection centers. The thinning, which removed about 25% of the stems, potentially doubled the number of F. annosus infection centers.
