Summary

Abstract: "Management Strategies for Allegheny Hardwood Forests" is a long-term
dataset describing Allegheny hardwood stands under 5 management
systems: even-age management, two age management, single tree
selection, economic selection, and group selection with thinning
between groups. The purposes of these data are to determine long-term
differences in the volume and value growth and yield of Allegheny
hardwood stands under different management systems; and to determine
the effect of management systems on regeneration.
