Abstract

The success of broadcast-seeding of shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) after one or several years can be determined with specified precision by a systematic sampling procedure. Seedling results often are expressed as the total number of seedlings per acre, but good distribution is equally important. The total stocking and the stocked milacre methods described here provide these data.
