  1. Predicting tree-seedling height distributions using subcontinental-scale forest inventory data

    The importance of tree seedlings in determining future stand composition and structure is welldocumented in forestry literature. When planned or unanticipated overstory removal events occur, subsequent regeneration success is often linked to the number of seedlings and their height distribution. Yet, in most forest inventories, only counts of seedlings are obtained as...

  2. Innovations in afforestation of agricultural bottomlands to restore native forests in the eastern USA

    Establishing trees in agricultural bottomlands is challenging because of intense competition, flooding and herbivory. A summary is presented of new practices and management systems for regenerating trees in former agricultural fields in the eastern USA. Innovations have come from improvements in planting stock and new silvicultural systems that restore ecological...

  3. Using a tree seedling mortality budget as an indicator of landscape-scale forest regeneration security

    Securing desirable forest regeneration outcomes is an essential component of sustainable forest management. When natural reproduction is preferred over planting, achieving desirable outcomes may be the principal challenge for forest managers, as reports of struggles and even failures are common across many regions and forest ecosystems. Informing managers and...
