Planting Hardwoods for Stand Improvement
During each of three consecutive years beginning in 1949, five species of hardwoods (1-0 stock) were planted beneath low-grade hardwoods on upper, middle, and lower slopes, and on minor bottoms. The planted hardwoods were white ash, black walnut, white oak, yellow-poplar, and black locust. For comparison, loblolly pine was also included. On half of the plots, all overstory hardwoods larger than 0. 5 inch d. b. h. were removed or killed to release the underplanted seedlings.
