Abstract

A number of fertilization experiments have been conducted in plantations of cottonwood. sweetgum. and sycamore and in natural stands of oak and sweetgum. Responses to nitrogen or nitrogen + phosphorus have been obtained more frequently in stands established on old fields than on undisturbed sites. Accelerated growth was maintained only a year or two.
