Effects of Seedbed, Overstory, and Understory on White Ash Regeneration in New Hampshire

The purposes of the study were twofold. First, we wished to determine how partial cutting and seedbed preparation in a forest stand affect the catch of white ash seedlings. (Catch, as used here, means the number of current-year seedlings alive at the end of the growing season.) Second, we wished to determine how partial cutting and undergrowth competition affect the growth of 1-year-old seedlings.
