Factors affecting temporal and spatial soil moisture variation in and adjacent to group selection openings

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Soil moisture content was intensively sampled in three, 1-acre blocks containing an opening and surrounding mature upland hardwoods. Openings covering 0.19-0.26 ac were created by group-selection cutting, and they were occupied by 1-year-old trees and shrubs.
