Description: Nine-year survival and growth of oak (Quercus alba L., Q. rubra L., and Q. velutina Lam.) reproduction was evaluated in upland oak stands representing a range in site quality, residual overstory stocking, and understory treatments. Analysis of variance was used to test for differences in establishment, survival, and growth of oaks and other species groups as affected by site quality. overstory stocking, and intensity of understory treatment. Establishment of new oak reproduction was not significantly affected by study treatments. However, survival and growth of new and original oak reproduction and change in oak stocking values were significantly affected by the intensity of understory treatment.
