Abstract

Oak replacement persists as an obstacle to high quality hardwood management, especially on highly productive sites. Difficulties in naturally regenerating oak can be viewed as the result of social and economic constraints imposed by the biological solution, not the lack of a solution. As a result, economically viable alternatives are being explored to maintain oak as an important component of future stands including artificial regeneration; however, to be successful, studies are needed on artificial oak regeneration to enhance the methods and explore impediments.
