Preharvest herbicide treatment of undesirable and unmerchantable v getation was compared to postharvest felling. Ten years after the clearcut harvesting, the preharvest treatment had increased the number and proportion of desirable stems and decreased the number and proportion of undesirable sprouts in the dominant stand. Stands that developed after the preharvest herb•cide treatment are domina...

Different variants of regeneration felling or different light conditions (total site factor 15–95%) and weed control were evaluated in relation to the 4-year development of individuals of regenerated sessile oak. The regeneration density is not dependent on light conditions. The highest mortality occurs on the open area of clear felling. For a certain time in youth, it is possible to consider o...

An intense debate exists on the effects of post-fire salvage logging on plant community regeneration, but scant data are available derived from experimental studies. We analyzed the effects of salvage logging on plant community regeneration in terms of species richness, diversity, cover, and composition by experimentally managing a burnt forest on a Mediterranean mountain (Sierra Nevada, S Spai...

Tree regeneration was compared among closed-canopy sites and 4±11-year old natural and felling gaps in a selectively logged semideciduous tropical forest in southeastern Mexico. Closed-canopy sites and gaps were selected strati®ed randomly. In addition, all large natural and felling gaps encountered were sampled. All stems 5 cm dbh were sampled in sets of 10 m plots in closed-canopy sites and g...
