I will be studying the microenvironments of 1200 chestnuts that were planted in the spring of 2002 within three local forests; Raccoon Ecological Management Area, Zaleski State Forest and Tar Hollow State Forest. I will be asking: What is the germination percentage and establishment rate of Castanea dentata seeds in four different stand management treatments? What micro-environmental factors influence the survival and growth rate of C. dentata seedlings?
