Question:
Red spruce produces good seed crops every year:
Response:
True
False
Red maple stumps usually sprout vigorously after cutting.
Sugar maple and white ash have large taproots that can penetrate leaf litter on the forest floor.
Balsam fir seedlings outcompete red spruce seedlings under similar seedbed conditions .
Clearcutting usually favours the establishment of shade tolerant species.
Ground disturbance, such as mixing of mineral soil and humus by skidding or winching, is beneficial to seedling development in shelterwood cuts.
Shortwood harvesting is not suitable for the final cut in the shelterwood system.
Ten percent of full sunlight is sufficient for excellent growth of red spruce seedlings.
The seed tree method can be used very successfully in regenerating white pine in Nova Scotia.
Stump sprout control is not an important factor to consider when carrying out shelterwood cutting in tolerant hardwood stands.
