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...
متن کاملStand After Clearcutting
A mixed hardulood stand composed of 33% oak (Quercus “pp.), 33% yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), and 14% other spec ies, was clearcut in 1963. Twenty years lo ter a deueloping, even-aged stand of pedominantly sprout origin is domi?gated by yellow-poplar, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), and sweet birch (Betula lenta L.). The 0ak.s are a minor and de...
متن کاملClearcutting and Site Preparation, but Not Planting, Promoted Early Tree Regeneration in Boreal Alaska
The stand initiation stage decisively influences future forest structure and composition, particularly in the boreal forest which is a stand replacement disturbance driven system. In boreal Alaska, the conventional forest management paradigm has focused on the production of large-dimension timber, particularly white spruce (Picea glauca). However, energy generation and heating from wood is incr...
متن کاملTree age, disturbance history, and carbon stocks and fluxes in subalpine Rocky Mountain forests
Forest carbon stocks and fluxes vary with forest age, and relationships with forest age are often used to estimate fluxes for regional or national carbon inventories. Two methods are commonly used to estimate forest age: observed tree age or time since a known disturbance. To clarify the relationships between tree age, time since disturbance and forest carbon storage and cycling, we examined st...
متن کاملPrinciples of Natural Regeneration of Tropical Dry Forests for Restoration
Tropical dry forests are the most threatened tropical terrestrial ecosystem. However, few studies have been conducted on the natural regeneration necessary to restore these forests. We reviewed the ecology of regeneration of tropical dry forests as a tool to restore disturbed lands. Dry forests are characterized by a relatively high number of tree species with small, dry, wind-dispersed seeds. ...
