Book excerpt: S2Appalachian hardwood stands in West Virginia were managed for 30 or more years using single-tree selection regeneration practices. Stand yield data suggest that current stand growth will provide economical harvest cuts for several future cutting cycles. This case study indicates that single-tree selection has potential for landowners who want to maintain continuous overstory cover and are willing to accept the gradual species shift to more shade-tolerant species.S3.
