A 5-Year Assessment Of Shortleaf Pine And Hardwood Sprouts Relative To Three Methods Of Hardwood Control In The Arkansas Ozarks (2004)Cain, M. D. (2004). A 5-Year Assessment Of Shortleaf Pine And Hardwood Sprouts Relative To Three Methods Of Hardwood Control In The Arkansas Ozarks. Southern Research Station, General Technical Report SRS-74. Retrieved from https://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/gtr/gtr_srs074/gtr_srs074-cain001.pdf Compared with untreated checks, manual hardwood control and herbicide injection of hardwoods facilitated the development of direct seeded shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) regeneration following a single-tree selection harvest in a mature natural stand of shortleaf pines in northwest Arkansas. Five years after hardwood control, shortleaf pine seedlings on treated plots were 215 percent taller (P = 0.02) and 242 percent larger (P = 0.01) in groundline diameter than pine seedlings on check plots. Resprouting hardwoods on herbicide injection plots were 42 percent shorter (P < 0.01) and had 72 percent less (P = 0.01) crown area compared with those on manual control plots
