- Abstract:
- The chapter on the life history of wild pine-hardwood stands is based very largely upon field work started in the fall of 1923. The chapter on management is little more than selected pickings from the Harvard Forest records and publications. Several prominent European foresters were written to for advice and suggestions regarding the management of pine-hardwood stands, particularly even-aged stands. Their replies were most reassuring, since in nearly every case they corroborated the existing silvicultural policy of the Forest, more specifically the segregation of the pine and hardwood into groups. The next chapter, which deals with the expectable yields and returns from managed pine-hardwood stands, indicates anew the profitableness of what is commonly referred to as intensive silviculture. Finally, in order still further to strengthen the cause of the mixed stand, the authors searched out opinions of eminent European foresters on the subject of pure versus mixed stands.
