Abstract
At the 18th Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference held in Knoxville, TN, a range of topics germane to the ecology and management of southern forests was addressed in 101 oral and 61 poster presentations. Papers are grouped into 14 topic sections and include soil and site relationships, forest threats, conservation, nutrition, fire, biometrics, biomass, growth and development, pine regeneration, longleaf pine, shortleaf pine, PineMap, hardwood regeneration and hardwood management. These proceedings provide insight into the latest research conducted by myriad entities including Universities, government agencies and resource managers.Titles contained within Proceedings of the 18th biennial southern silvicultural research conference
