Abstract
- Biomass and nutrient content of natural stands of northern hardwood regeneration were measured 4 years after clearcutting. Pin cherry and shrubs made up a significant proportion of the biomass in both unfertilized and fertilized stands. Yet these stands are well stocked with large numbers of desirable commercial species, especially paper and yellow birch. However, fertilizer greatly stimulated pin cherry to the detriment of the commercial species. Paper birch was the only commercial species to increase in average dry weight on the fertilized area.
