Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title 10-year Allegheny hardwood forest type regeneration data
Summary:  View help for Summary This data publication contains regeneration surveys in an experiment investigating the independent and synergistic effects of both white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) browsing and hay-scented fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula) competition on tree regeneration in a 10-year experiment that ran from 2001 to 2010 in three hardwood forest sites in Pennsylvania, USA. Treatments included fencing (+/-) to examine the role of browsing and the hay-scented fern cover (+/-) to examine the role of competing vegetation. Data were collected in 1 meter squared plots within each experimental unit. Seedling tallies were done to identify both established seedlings, new germinants, as well as height of the tallest seedling, by species.
