Abstract: Basal area and volume growth response of unthinned and thinned Douglas fir<br />

(Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands to single and multiple applications of N fertilizer (as urea) were<br />

estimated for eight 2-yr periods in second-growth stands in Washington and Oregon. Response<br />

estimates, as differences between growth rates on fertilized and control plots after adjusting for<br />

initial volume (or basal area), and trends, were analysed on a regional scale. Average responses to<br />

the initial fertilization and to both the second and third fertilizer applications, 8 and 12 yr later,<br />

were statistically significant (P
