Excerpt from Growth, Mortality, and Regeneration After Cutting in Loblolly Pine Pulpwood Stands Good forest management policy today would not accept the rather crude short-rotation cutting methods as practiced in this early study. New methods of seed-tree selection and stimulation, seedbed preparation, and control of inferior understory species are some of the techniques considered advisable to secure satisfactory regeneration. However, there are large acreages of loblolly pine stands not under intensive management which are still being cut by some of the methods practiced in this study. The records of growth, mortality, and regeneration during the 9-year period following cutting by the six methods tested provide some useful information regarding these stands.
