SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS 



FOR even-aged second growth hardwood stands in Central 

 New England this study leads to the following conclusions : 



I. After cutting the mixed hardwood type regenerates it- 

 self substantially unchanged and generally follows the logging 

 of pine stands. The type is, therefore, greatly on the increase 

 in the region. 



II. At seventy years on the better sites fully stocked 

 stands produce twenty thousand and on the poorer thirteen 

 thousand board feet of saw timber. 



III. In spite of wide variation in percentages of species in 

 mixture, for a given age, site, and density the volume in board 

 feet, cubic feet, and cords is constant. 



IV. The volume of a tree of given height and diameter in 

 cords and cubic feet is the same regardless of species.
