Abstract

As management is intensified in bottomland forests, efforts will be made to control species composition. One criterion for the selection of species to favor is growth rate, about which relatively little is known for bottomland species. This study was made to compare the relative growth rates of certain bottomland hardwood species in southern Louisiana.
