Comparison of chemical and manual methods of precommerical thinning oak stump-sprouts
Precommercial thinning of 12-year-old upland oak stump-sprouts in southwestern Virginia using herbicides and manual felling was compared. Objectives were to quantify and compare residual crop-stem growth and treatment costs between treatments and application methods. 2,4-D and triclopyr were …

Even-aged regeneration alternatives for low quality oak hardwood forests in the Virginia Piedmont
… Natural hardwood regeneration was dominated by stump sprouts, with seedlings and advanced regeneration playing a secondary role. Stump sprouts and seedlings plus advanced regeneration were significantly taller with a dormant season harvest. A growing season harvest resulted in significantly …

Effects of Alternative Silvicultural Treatments on Regeneration in the Southern Appalachians
… A second study specifically focused on stump sprouting in only three of those treatments. The treatments for first study included: a clearcut, commercial harvest, leave-tree, shelterwood, group selection, midstory treatment, and an uncut control. The second only focused on the clearcut, …

Conservation of Castanea dentata genetic resources of the Southeastern United States
… Finding and breeding surviving C. dentata stump sprouts is problematic due to the relatively short life span of blooming stems and their often remote forest habitat. To facilitate more efficient location of surviving trees in the southeastern U.S., we used a Geographic Information System …

Impacts of Laurel Wilt Disease on Redbay (Persea Borbonia) Population Structure and Forest Communities in the Coastal Plain of Georgia, USA
… sites. Dead tree stems had almost 3 times more stump sprouts per tree in infested sites. Impacts from LWD were found in redbay <1.00 cm diameter at ground height. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was 4.8 times greater at infested sites due to loss of redbay canopy. Shrubs in control …

Oak regeneration after clearcutting on steep slopes in the ridge and valley province of southwest Virginia
… of oak stems of advance regeneration and stump sprout origin was studied during a two-year period following clearcutting and whole-tree removal in eight midslope stands in the Ridge and Valley Province of southwestern Virginia. Oak regeneration was also characterized in several older …

Growth and demography of Quercus coccinea and Q. prinus ramets and genets after clearfelling
Growth and mortality of ramets (stump sprouts) and genets (sprout clumps) of scarlet and chestnut oak were examined on three sites at ages 1-2 (YRI-2), 4-5 (YR4-5) and 7-8 (YR 7-8). Based on a test of the older site with the younger using 2-year-old data, it was concluded that the two populations …
