Silvicultural Approaches for Regenerating Upland Stands in the Northern Cumberland Plateau

In summary, the proposed study will: 1. Evaluate the overall effects of mid story removal on natural and underplanted seedlings seven years following treatment 2. Quantify the relationship between seedling morphological characteristics and subsequent growth and mortality 3. Examine the seven-year response of stand structure to the midstory removal 4. Characterize light, temperature, alid soil moisture regimes within untreat~d stands and stanas receiving midstory control.
