Journal ArticleDOI
Tall understorey vegetation as a factor in the poor development of oak seedlings beneath mature stands
TL;DR: An experiment was designed to evaluate the impact of tall and low understorey vegetation on oak seedling development beneath mature stands on two sites in southwestern Wisconsin.
Journal ArticleDOI
A methodology for estimating canopy disturbance frequency and intensity in dense temperate forests
Craig G. Lorimer,Lee E. Frelich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology was proposed for developing a disturbance chronology in forests of complex age structure by identifying the probable date of canopy accession for each sample tree, based on an evaluation of radial growth pattern and early growth rates of existing canopy trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Disturbance Regimes in Hemlock-Hardwood Forests of the Upper Great Lakes Region
Lee E. Frelich,Craig G. Lorimer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency of natural disturbances and their influence on the forest landscape mosaic were investigated on three large tracts of primary forest in Upper Michigan, and the data indicate that light and medium disturbances dominate the disturbance regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age structure and disturbance history of a southern appalachian virgin forest
TL;DR: Radial growth patterns reveal higher than average numbers of abrupt and sustained increases in growth rate in most decades of peak recruitment which, along with other evidence, suggest that disturbance was the principal causal factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The presettlement forest and natural disturbance cycle of northeastern maine
TL;DR: The authors analyzed land survey records of 1793-1827 containing forest data for 1.65 X 1Off ha of northern Maine were analyzed for species composition, successional status, and frequency of large-scale disturbance.
