Advance regeneration in 52 mature mixed-oak stands was analyzed and described. Red maple ( Acer rubrum  L.) was the most abundant species in the study area. Among oak ( Quercus ) species, northern red oak ( Q. rubra  L.) was the most abundant within the Allegheny Plateau physiographic province, whereas chestnut oak ( Q. montana  L.) was the most abundant within the Ridge and Valley physiographic province. Sixteen stands, for which data are available through the fourth growing season following harvest, were used to describe stand development. Cumulative height, a composite measure of size and density, was used to describe early stand development. Black gum ( Nyssa sylvatica  Marsh.) and black birch ( Betula lenta  L.) had dramatic increases in stand density and cumulative height after overstory removal. Cumulative height of northern red oak and chestnut oak showed a faster positive response to overstory removal than red maple. Oak retained its dominance in cumulative height for at least 4 years after harvest. Red maple nevertheless remained the most abundant tree species after overstory removal. Our results suggest that the principal advantage of red maple regeneration is its ability to accumulate in large numbers prior to harvest.
