The effects of forest exploitation on forest structure and status of forest fragments were investigated in 20 nonreserved forest fra...

The different phases are briefly described by the respective goals, tasks...

Southern pine plantations are increasingly established using herbicides to control herbaceous and/or woody competing vegetation to enhance growth, but little is known about the effect on wood quality. A study was established at 13 southern locations in 1984 to examine the effects of complete control of woody, herbaceous, and woody plus herbaceous competition for the first 3 to 5 years on the gr...

Inventory of the oak resource is discussed as a preliminary requirement for management. In ad­ dition, ...
