To plant or not to plant? Results from a century-long forest planting experiment.
In: 99th Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting 2014.
Abstract
Understanding the long-term affects of management strategies on secondary forest development is particularly important as reforestation and afforestation efforts gain momentum. A forest plantation established in 1915, and left with no active management for a century, was recently rediscovered in eastern Pennsylvania and provides unique insight on the long-term effects of planting on forest succession. The initial planting arrangement of the Lehigh University Experimental Forest, in 43 monospecific and bispecific plots, left a strong legacy on the community composition and forest structure even after 100 years. The legacy of planting was also evident in differing spatial distribution of trees and recruitment dynamics in the LUEF when compared to a non-planted, unmanaged secondary forest.
