The Central Hardwood Forest Conference is a series of biennial meetings that have been hosted by universities and research stations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service in the central hardwood forest region in the Eastern United States. The objective of the conference is to bring together forest managers and scientists to discuss research and issues concerning the ecology and management of forests in the central hardwood region. This, the 16th Conference, includes presentations pertaining to forest regeneration and propagation, forest products, ecology and forest dynamics, human dimensions and economics, forest biometrics and modeling, silviculture and genetics, forest health and protection, and soil and mineral nutrition. The conference consisted of 64 oral presentations resulting in the papers published herein.

The Central Hardwood Forest stretches from the upper Southeast to the Great Lakes & from Arkansas to Mass. It is an oak-dominated deciduous forest occurring in hilly to mountainous areas of this region -- the most extensive temperate deciduous forest in the world. Concerns the biology & management of central hardwoods by forest scientists from throughout the Central Hardwood Region of the Eastern U.S. Includes papers on: nutrient dynamics; stand structure; reforestation/reclamation; harvesting; modeling/inventory; wildlife; silviculture; disturbance effects; & genetics/tree improvement.

Pre- and post-treatment seed-bank characteristics of woody species were compared after two prescribed fires in a mesic mixed-oak forest in the central Appalachians. Nineteen woody species were identified from soil samples. Mean species richness declined but evenness did not after prescribed burning. The seed bank was dominated by black birch, yellow-poplar, blackberry, grapevine and Hercules club before burning. Following burning, the median density of seed bank propagules declined by 45 percent. Black birch, yellow-poplar, and grapevine declined by 69, 56, and 40 percent, respectively. The results illustrate the importance of the seed bank as a robust source of non-oak regeneration in mixed-oak forests and of the potential effect of fire altering it.
