Response to Crop-Tree Release by 7-Year-Old-Stems of Red Maple Stump Sprouts and Northern Red Oak Advance Reproduction

摘要

This paper deals with crop-tree release of two species typical of a fair site: red maple stump sprouts and northern red oak advance reproduction. A study was made to test the feasibility of doing a crop-tree release immediately after the canopy closed and crown classes could be distinguished. The study was made in a 7-year-old even-aged hardwood stand on the Fernow Experimental Forest near Parsons, West Virginia.
