Korstian CF. 1937. Perpetuation of Spruce on Cut-Over and Burned Lands in the Higher Southern Appalachian Mountains. Ecological Monographs. 7(1):125 - 168
In recognition of the urgency of preserving what is left of the spruce forest and of restoring it, so far as possible, where it has been destroyed, a study was undertaken by the writer of virgin, cut-over, and burned spruce lands for the purpose of obtaining information on: (1) The conditions prevailing on such lands in different states of productivity; (2) the reproduction characteristics of spruce; (3) the obstacles to reproduction; and (4) the measures by which the spruce forest may be restored and perpetuated.
