Abstract

Because of greater emphasis on nontimber values in New England, uneven-age management is drawing more interest among the larger ownerships. Uneven-age management approaches recommended in the past were both costly and biologically undesirable. However, recent findings are enabling the development of more feasible uneven-age guidelines for regenerating valuable species, conducting practical cutting operations, controlling marking, and keeping records.
