Abstract

Abstract Increased logging activity in the suburban forest heightens the risk of scarring the landscape and silting of streams, and it increases the need for specialized management to stabilize the soil with vegetation after harvest. Appropriate management requires evaluation of soil and seedbed characteristics and site conditions of slope and shade. This study evaluated the effects of site, fertilizer, and mulch on initial density of planted species, and subsequent invasion of volunteers from surrounding seed sources. The results can be used by foresters and loggers to develop more effective treatments to stabilize disturbed areas with vegetation. North. J. Appl. For. 9(4):153-157.
