Abstract

In 17 areas, mostly in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont sections of New Jersey and Maryland, treatments were made to favor the establishment and growth of yellow-poplar reproduction. Results emphasize the importance of fairly large overstory openings (preferably 1 acre or more) and of reductions in understories by mistblowing, burning, or disking, but show that seedbed preparation is needed only in areas borderline because of deep litter, scant seed supply, or dense herbaceous growth.
