Mature second growth and young second growth represent common stand conditions in this region.  Tree species diversity was highest in maturing second-growth, intermediate in old-growth, and lowest in young second-growth stands.  Old-growth stands had an overstory tree composition of a mix of shade-intolerant and intermediate species; maturing second-growth overstories were dominated by intermediate species; young second-growth overstories were dominated by shade-intolerant species.  Densities of large live trees, trees with cavities, and snags were highest in old-growth stands and lowest in young second-growth stands.  Log accumulations were highest in one young second-growth stand and lowest in another young second-growth stand that had been clearcut twice.  Log accumulations in old-growth stands were higher than in maturing second-growth stands.  Maturing second-growth stands were more similar in structural characteristics to the old-growth stands than to the young second-growth stands.  Stand history appears to have highly influenced many structural and compositional characteristics.  Although the sample size was small, the old-growth stands have several characteristics that developed as a result of their undisturbed history; these characteristics should be considered during planning for future old growth on Southern Appalachian national forests.},
