When Chasing Your Tail Saves Time

SPECIES COMPOSITION OF REGENERATION AFTER CLEARCUTTING SOtrrHERN APPALACHIAN HARDWOODS!.!

--Regeneration after clearcutting of Southern Appalachian hardwood stands varies substantially in species composition not only among sites of different quality and previous-stand composition, but also among sites of similar quality and similar previous-stand composition. Severe competition from less desirable species for available growing space is cOllDlon in regenerated stands. The appropriate...

Preharvest Herbicide Treatment Improves Regeneration in Southern Appalachian Hardwoods

Preharvest herbicide treatment of undesirable and unmerchantable v getation was compared to postharvest felling. Ten years after the clearcut harvesting, the preharvest treatment had increased the number and proportion of desirable stems and decreased the number and proportion of undesirable sprouts in the dominant stand. Stands that developed after the preharvest herb•cide treatment are domina...

This aim is often achieved by instructing participants whether to lie or to be honest in a given situation (e.g., Spence et al., 2001; Walczyk et al., 2003). Shalvi and colleagues have recently promoted a striking alternative approach which al...
