Ten-Year Growth of Yellow-Poplar Planted in North Alabama

Key Points

At least 70 percent of yellow-poplars survived across varying slopes after ten years.
Tree height fluctuated significantly, with a greater reduction on south slopes versus north slopes.
Yellow-poplar trees thrived best in moist, well-drained bottom areas of the Cumberland Plateau.
This research highlights the environmental factors influencing the growth and survival of yellow-poplar.

Abstract

Abstract Ten years after being planted, yellow-poplars on the southern end of the Cumberland Plateau were tallest in moist, well-drained bottoms. Tree height decreased with position up the slope at a greater rate on south than on north slopes. At least 70 percent of the trees survived on all but middle and upper south slopes.
