Rock JH, Beckage B, Gross LJ. 2004. Population recovery following differential harvesting of Allium tricoccum Ait. in the southern Appalachians. Biological Conservation. 116:227-234
Allium tricoccum Ait. is a species that is harvested throughout its range for its edible bulb. The recovery of A. tricoccum populations were examined over a 5-year period following experimental harvests of different intensity to predict the number of years required to return to pre-harvest levels and to establish guidelines for sustainable harvesting.
