A Site Classification for Reforestation on the National Forests of Wisconsin

Key Points

Site classification leads to optimal reforestation efforts, enhancing forest health and biodiversity.
Key factors for classification include soil texture, water table depth, overhead cover, and vegetation density.
Recommendations are provided for 80 site condition combinations, aiding in decision-making for planting.
This approach supports sustainable forest management practices in northern Wisconsin.

Abstract

Abstract In classifying planting sites in northern Wisconsin, the four important considerations are soil texture, depth of water table, overhead cover, and density of the low ground vegetation. Species and age class are recommended for each of 80 combinations of conditions and are listed in tabular form.
