March 16-18, 2021
Welcome to the 2021 Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference!
Initiated in 1980, The Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference provides a forum for scientists and practitioners actively engaged in the broad field of silviculture to report their study results, to present new concepts and techniques, to discuss topics of mutual interest, to coordinate cooperative efforts, and to stay current on developments in the field. Scientists, foresters, landowners, and others interested in forest management have found the conferences and their proceedings to be valuable sources of information on current and developing trends in southern silviculture.
Presentations emphasize research on silvicultural topics such as: carbon management, competition control, ecology, economics, fire behavior, forest health, genetics/tree improvement, growth and yield, harvesting, history, invasive species spread and control, natural and artificial regeneration, nutritional amendments, pine silviculture, restoration, site preparation, stand dynamics, water and soil quality, and wildlife ecology and habitat management.
This year, we are going virtual! The three day virtual event will include a keynote presentation, oral sessions, poster sessions, and other virtual interactive opportunities.
Presented by the USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station and Mississippi State University, Department of Forestry.
Abstract Submissions Are Now Closed
