Fruit production in mature and recently regenerated forests of the Appalachians
Article Abstract:
The spatial and temporal variation in fruit production and composition between the silvicultural treatments and different forest types of the Appalachians during the first 5 years after harvest is examined. The results have revealed that fruit production in young regenerated stands increased every year and their fruit production was 5 to 19.6 times higher than mature stands.
