Excerpt from An Appraisal of Early Reproduction After Cutting in Northern Appalachian Hardwood Stands The forest Stands on all the areas studied were first logged between 1905 and 1910. In some locations the cutting approached a clearcut; in less accessible stands it was a light high-grading. When research cuttings were started on the Experimental Forest in 1949, the stands were composed mainly of three classes of trees above 5 inches (1) second-growth Appalachian hardwoods, 40 to 45 years old; (2) old residual trees left from the original cutting; and (3) a scattering of pole-size trees that had come up in openings created by the death of the chestnut around 1930. The stands were characteristically uneven-aged and well-stocked, and they had not been burned for at least 35 years.
