This report identifies, estimates and compares harvest and renewal costs of strip-cut harvesting and clear-cut harvesting on the shallow-soil upland black spruce sites of north central Ontario. The additional costs and savings attributable to the strip-cut harvesting system are analyzed for 12 renewal prescriptions and two strip lengths over leave periods of 3, 5, and 10 years. In all, 72 harvest-renewal alternatives were analyzed.
