This study explores the indirect relationship between forest structural measures and initial seedling survival and growth along a structural gradient between 64% to 92% canopy closure. The gradient was created by applying various levels of midstory removal to fifty 0.05 ha areas located within a mixed-hardwood riparian forest corridor.

We present a matrix growth model for an uneven-aged, oak-hickory forest in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri. The model was developed to predict ingrowth, growth of surviving trees, and mortality by diameter class for a five-year period. Tree removal from management activities iib accounted for in the model. We evaluated a progression of models from a static, fixed-parameter to a dynamic, functioii form. The model was based on data from 366 0.2-acre permanent plots, measured over seven five-year periods from 1957 to 1992. Variables used in development of the dynamic model included basal area of larger trees (an index of conllpetition) and number of trees per acre. Models were evaluated using 92 reserved plots by comparing predicted and actu:II diameter-distri butions over five- and thirty-five-year periods. Application of this matrix model requires only a DBt 1 distribution in trees per acre. During the period 1957-1992, there were 366 plots that were consistently remeasured. These pl...

It contains a RISC core, called the SF-core, and additional modules integrated on the same chip. The SF-core incorporates two integer units, an optional IEEE-754 compatible floating-point unit (FPU), digital signal processing (DSP) enhancements, and instruction

Changes in basal area, density and average diameter were examined on a 156,000-acre privately owned oak-hickory forest in the Missouri Ozarks. The forest has been managed since 1954 using the single-tree selection method. Trees greater than five inches dbh were monitored on 486 one-fifth-acre permanent plots at five year intervals from 1962 through 1992. Seven species/species groups accounted for approximately 90% of both basal area and density throughout this 30-year period. Average basal area increased by 48% and average density by 69% during the study period. Quadratic mean diameter declined by 8.5% over the first 15 years and has since remained relatively stable.
