Short-rotation forestry with rapidly growing, coppicing hardwoods might help meet the increasing wood fiber needs of the U.S. Studies were conducted in Kansas to observe the growth, yield, and woody biomass characteristics resulting from the short-rotation management of hardwoods. Closer spacing and silty soil produced the greatest yields. Coppice yields were about 62% more than seedling yields. Bark accounted for 21% of the ovendry weight of two-yr-old coppice growth.
