Abstract

When stands of Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana ill.) are cut according to usual practices, and no specific action is taken to control subsequent regeneration, the pine often fails to reproduce. A common cause for failure is an unfavorable seedbed condition: logging leaves much of the seedbed undisturbed, and some areas that are disturbed are covered with slash.
