Title: Hardwood Regeneration on the Loessial Hills After Harvesting For Uneven-Aged Management
Author(s): Goelz, J.C.G.; Meadows, J.S.
Date: 1995
Source: In: Edwards, M. Boyd, comp. Proceedings of the eighth biennial southern silvicultural research conference; 1994 November 1-3; Auburn, AL. Gen. Tech. Rep. SRS-1. Asheville, NC: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Southern Research Station: 394-400.
Description: In 1991, study plots were harvested to four different residual diameter distributions. Generally, for all specks, the more extreme overstory removals promoted regeneration establishment while the trestment with the least overstory removal tended to provide less regeneration than the uncut controk For oak spscies, most of the seedlings present in 1993 were those occurring in 1992. Survival of oaks from 1992 to 1993 exceeded 60 percent for all species. Yellow-poplars present in 1993 were primary seedlings established since the inventory in 1992. Abundance in the overstory was a significant factor in predicting oak but not yellow-poplar regeneration. Diversity did not differ significantly across treatments, but diversity increased from 1992 to 1993 on the most heavily cut plots.
