PREFACE

Thii proceedings represents the research of 189 investigators studying the patterns and processes of managed southern forests through 104 reported studies. These contributions emanate from scientists located at various universities, forestry industries, and public agencies. Their approaches and findings lead the way to efficient and wise management of our nation’ s forest resource.

A general session on "Silviculture -A Pivotal Role In A Changing Profession" kicked off the conference with five distinguished presenters sharing their experience and insight.
