Another example is the girdling of selected Douglas-fir trees in some Northern California oak woodlands, such as Annadel State Park, in order to prevent that Douglas-fir from massive invasion of the mixed oak woodland. [5] Girdling can be used to create standing dead wood, or snags. This can provide a valuable habitat for a variety of wildlife ...
