Abstract

The Proceedings of the 21 st Biennial Southern Silviculture Research Conference provides a collection of seven studies identifying a variety of factors influencing stand dynamics in the southeastern United States. While forest management was the central theme of this special topic, the studies within derive from a diverse set of biological disciplines including silviculture, fire ecology, plant physiology, functional ecology, forest ecology, plant physiology, and forest genetics. Moreover, the body of research presented in this special topic can help inform management decisions on broad conservation issues including forest tree improvement, bioenergy plantation establishment, longleaf pine conservation, prescribed fire efficacy, and invasive species impacts on native vegetation.
