area. The work of LC. 

 Maisenhelder, J.S. 

 McKnight, F. Bonner, R.L 

 Johnson, and E.C. McGee, 

 for example, has provided 

 guidelines for obtaining 

 regeneration of desirable 

 species, through both 

 appropriate cutting prac- 

 tices and establishment of 

 plantations of selected 

 species. 



Underlying the many practi- 

 cal recommendations that 

 have been developed for 

 regenerating both pines 

 and hardwoods in southern 



forests are additional stud- 

 ies by many different re- 

 searchers. These have 

 covered various aspects of 

 seed collection, seed germi- 

 nation, nursery practices, 

 insect and disease control, 

 care of planting stock, site 

 preparation, and field plant- 

 ing procedures. And much 

 information on forest regen- 

 eration also has been 

 obtained as part of research 

 on the genetic selection 

 and improvement of forest 

 trees and management of 

 forest stands.
