Early red spruce regeneration and release studies in the central and southern Appalachians

Informally Refereed

Abstract

The aftermath of exploitative harvesting and destruction by fire during the 1920s was first encountered by forest researchers employed by the Appalachian Forest Experiment Station (AEFS) based in Asheville, NC. Two of the more productive researchers were Clarence F. Korstian and Leon S. Minckler, and their studies remain instructive today. This presentation will review their primary conclusions.
