In western Montana clearcuts, seeds were dispersed up to convert uphill from their source, but seedfall between convert was only 7% of that found in uncut stands.
Other studies determined that seedfall in clearcuts beyond convert from seed trees was about 3% of seedfall in uncut stands where seed trees are close together.
Well-stocked stands have resulted from seedfall from sources convert distant, but most Douglas-fir seeds fall within convert of their source.
