“…Within many portions of its range, however, regeneration is a major limiting characteristic. The root cause of this has been the focus of much research (Hutchinson et al, 2008;Kabrick et al, 2008). In certain regions, the suppression of fire and changes in management regimes can be attributed to some of the compositional changes observed in eastern forests (Hutchinson et al, 2008).…”

Regeneration in multi-species in Serra da Lousã

Stand regeneration is one of the most important aspects of silviculture as it ensures stand and production perpetuity. Regeneration occurs after one or several disturbances releasing growing space, usually after the elimination of some adult trees. In Northern and Central Portugal many maritime pine old growth stands have natural regeneration of several broadleaved species, in particular sweet chestnut and English oak. In multi-species stands regeneration and recruitment analysis should consider both density and diversity measures. A series of permanent plots established in Serra da Lousã made it possible to characterise the existing natural regeneration and its evolution with two successive measurements in 2001 and 2009. All individuals with a diameter at breast height equal or less than 5 cm were considered as regeneration. Their recruitment was evaluated in 2009 and analysed as a function of absolute stand density measures and seven diversity indices. The results revealed that recruitment rate was high and that there was a trend towards a balance in terms of species and their proportions, while maintaining a tendency towards clustering and segregation according to the Clark and Evans and the Pielou indices, respectively.

“…Nevertheless, across all treatments stocking was still relatively high (Table 1), as was LAI, and it is likely that failure to continue active management within these stands would cause the treatment effects observed here to be fleeting as conditions improve for shade tolerant mesophytes relative to oaks and hickories. Although the treatments did not result in increased overstory residual growth [14], a future commercial timber sale is possible on these sites and intense cutting treatments may be required if a red oak component is desired, particularly on mesic sites [19,20].…”

Facilitating Oak and Hickory Regeneration in Mature Central Hardwood Forests

Advanced oak and hickory regeneration is often absent in mature oak-hickory forests in the Central Hardwood Region of the United States. Prescribed fire and thinning, alone and combined, are commonly prescribed silvicultural treatments that are recommended to initiate the regeneration process. This study examined the regeneration response in three mature oak stands following four treatments: (1) thin, (2) burn, (3) thinning and burning, or (4) no treatment (control). Ten years after initial treatment, results indicate that oak and hickory seedlings had greater height and diameter in the thinning and burning treatment compared to the control and that this treatment may help facilitate desirable regeneration in mature oak-hickory forests.
