Uneven-aged silviculture and management in the eastern United States: Proceedings of an In-Service Workshop; Morgantown, West Virginia; July 15-17, 1975

Abstract

The workshop, summarized in this Proceedings, represented a joint effort by personnel from Research, National Forest System, and State and Private Forestry, to review the state-of-the-art knowledge about the applicability of uneven-aged silviculture and management in the eastern United States. One major objective of this review was to develop a much better mutual understanding of the definition of uneven-aged silviculture and management. A number of research gaps and research needs were also identified. Many of these needs are already being incorporated into the program planning for several research work units in the four eastern Experiment Stations. In addition, many of the papers presented at this workshop should serve as interim working guides for forest managers in better understanding the complexities of uneven-aged silviculture and management of public and private forest lands throughout the eastern United States until some of the needed research can be completed.
