Current Research: |
| Research focuses on the silviculture of natural, mixed pine hardwood stands; long-term goals are to develop techniques for their creation and maintenance. Both even- and uneven-aged reproduction cutting methods are being tested over a wide range of site and stand conditions. Scientists from other disciplines have collaborated in much of this research. |
