Oak regeneration across a heterogeneous landscape in Ohio: some limited success after thinning, two fires, and seven years

Informally Refereed

Abstract

We document an increase in oak and hickory advance regeneration, depending on landscape position, in the sixth year (2006) after mechanical thinning (2000) and repeated prescribed fires (2001 and 2005) across two sites (Raccoon Ecological Management Area and Zaleski State Forest) in southern Ohio.
