If you are responsible for oak management, Managing Oak Forests in
the Eastern United States is for you. It is the definitive
practical guide for anyone interested in improving stewardship of
eastern oak forests. Organized into three sections, the first
section, "Background and Biology: Setting the Stage," helps you
establish a solid understanding of the history and ecology of
eastern oak ecosystems. It examines the question "Why do we manage
oaks?" and looks at some of the challenges faced in oak management
such as fire, wildlife management, and oak regeneration. It also
provides a description and distribution of oak forests across the
eastern United States and discusses the biology of oaks. The second
section, "Silviculture: What Is in the Tool Box," gives you a
practical understanding of how management can be implemented in
eastern oak forests. It covers natural regeneration, artificial
regeneration, and use of prescribed fires, competition control, and
intermediate treatments. The third and final section, "Managing
Oaks: How Do I Make It Work for Me?" helps you clarify your
objectives and chart a course to bring about the desired outcomes
for the forests you are managing. This section assists you in
evaluating your progress in managing your oaks and what changes you
will need to make. It provides details on management objectives for
upland oaks, woodlands and savannahs, and bottomland oaks. It also
gives you guidance on managing deer impacts on oak forests. The
last chapter is specifically designed to help you get started.
