Abstract
During the 25 years since establishment of more than 200 growth study plots in even-aged, naturally regenerated shortleaf pine (
Pinus echinata Mill.) forests, there has been considerable development of hardwood understory trees, shrubs, and some shortleaf pine regeneration. During the period from 1985-1987, even-aged shortleaf pine growth-study plots were established on the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
