Eight experimental blocks were established in the southern part of Quebec to determine the growth response of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) dominated stands after single tree selection cutting. Each block contained eight control plots (no cut) and eight cut plots. The intensity of removal varied between 21% and 32% and residual basal area was between 18.2 and 21 m(2)/ha. Ten year net annual basal area growth rates in cut plots (0.35 +/- 0.04 m(2)/ha) were significantly higher (p = 0.0022) than in control plots (0.14 +/- 0.06 m(2)/ha). The treatment particularly favoured diameter growth of stems between 10 and 30 cm in dbh, whose crowns were released by removing neighbouring trees. These results show that if the same net growth rate is maintained in the next decade most of the cut plots will reach their pre-cut basal area in about 20 years after cutting.
