Yield and nutrient removal by whole-tree harvest of a young bottomland hardwood stand. Forest Service research note
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6627833
The yield and nutrient withdrawal by whole-tree harvest of young bottomland hardwoods has heretofore been unknown. In this study of intensive harvest, samples of chipped whole trees and soil from 16 test plots were analyzed for nutrient content. Eighty-two percent of the stems and 59 percent of the dry weight were green ash. The balance was divided among a number of other species. The annual productivity was comparable to other stands of similar age. Soil reserves of the nutrients were found to be high enough to sustain intensive harvests for many 11-year rotations.
