Presentation summary:

The presentation will review alternatives for dealing with maturing even-aged stands including: 1. doing nothing, 2. replacing an entire stand in one of two steps, or 3. gradually converting a stand to a two- or multi-aged condition. Key requirements include having or getting abundant and well-developed advance regeneration, keeping vigorous upper canopy trees as the residuals with any of the partial cutting strategies, adding a new age class after each entry, and ensuring freedom from interference or intense herbivory.

Dr. Ralph Nyland, SUNY-ESF Distinguished Service Professor (emeritus)
