Abstract

Describes growth and survival of seedlings, cut and uncut seedling sprouts, and stump sprouts for 10 years after clearcutting in white oak stands and describes how to evaluate quantitatively the reproductive potential of 40 to 60-year-old white oak stands before they are clearcut. Survival was high for all four reproduction types and stumps grew the best.
