This study was initiated and designed, first, to determine the reliability of the stocking survey system, and, second, to construct free hand curves which would give the ratio of percent of stocking to number of trees per acre.

This study was started in 1947 to investigate the value of various types and quantities of seed source in the establishment of reproduction on cutover land, and to determine the apparent effects of various man-made and natural factors upon the rate of restocking. The man-made and natural factors to be...
