Proceedings Of The Fifth Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fifth Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference: Memphis, Tennessee, November 1-3, 1988 This proceedings documents the research efforts of 226 investigators studying the patterns and processes of managed southern forests through 93 reported studies. These valuable contributions come from formal researchers, extension and staff specialists, and forest managers. The authors represent 18 universities, 7 forestry and horticultural companies, and 5 public agencies, including 5 usda Forest Service Experiment Stations. Their approaches and findings are worthy of our study and, when appropriate, incorporation into the logical system we call silvicultural literature.
