Growth and Development of Outplanted High-quality Northern Red Oak Seedlings and the Effects of Competing Herbaceous Production Within Four Overstory Treatments- First-year Results

Oswalt, C. M., Clatterbuck, W. K., Schlarbaum, S. E., and Houston, A. E. IN: Proceedings of the 12th biennial southern silvicultural research conference, p. 559-564. USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station, General Technical Report SRS-71. Kristina F. Connor, ed. 2004.

This paper compares the first year seedling growth patterns (height and root collar diameter growth) and the impacts of competing herbaceous vegetation with emphasis on an exotic, Asian annual C4 grass. The silvicultural implications of seedling development over the four treatment areas are evaluated.
