Abstract
The Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project (MOFEP) experimentally tests forest ecosystem response to (a) even-aged management with clearcutting, (b) uneven-aged management with single-tree and group selection, and (c) no-harvesting. The nine MOFEP experimental sites in the southeast Missouri Ozarks are small landscapes ranging from 772 ac (312 ha) to 1,271 ac (514 ha) in extent. In 1996-97, each of the nine sites received one of the three treatments. Clearcutting and thinning affected 26 percent of the total area on the three sites receiving the even-aged management treatment. Selection and group selection harvests affected 57 percent of the total area on the three sites receiving the uneven-aged treatment. The treatments significantly (P
