Abstract
ABSTRACT PROPOSES that stumps, tops, and branches residual after log-ging pine plantations be hogged to build mulch beds spaced on about 2.5-m centers, thereby eliminating pile and burn operations. Growth of seedlings planted through mulch beds should be accelerated because of moisture conservation, weed suppression, and minimum disturb-ance of topsoil.
