Underplanting pin oak seedlings in bottomland forests managed as Greentree Reservoirs

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Underplanting bottomland oaks may be necessary to maintain them in future stands where advanced reproduction is lacking. In bottomland forests of the Mingo Basin in southeastern Missouri, we compared the survival of underplanted pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.) acorns, bareroot seedlings, and RPM? container grown seedlings in stands where the mid-story was thinned with and without controlling the ground flora with herbicide.
