Abstract

Most timber stands in North Carolina are even aged and appeared after some act of nature or man. The most common acts which lead to the establishment of a new stand are timber harvesting, retirement of farmland, wildfire, wind and ice storms, or insect and disease outbreaks. Most frequently, the new stand is a product of nature’s healing process. Less often, some land owner plants a stand of seedlings.
