A second-growth (60-80 years old) stand of red spruce in Pocahontas County, West Virginia was sampled to quantify stand composition and to compare size class distributions of red spruce with old-growth forests elsewhere. Stand composition was similar to other spruce forests in West Virginia. The size-class distribution of spruce in the second-growth stand was nearly bell-shaped, in contrast to distributions in old-growth forests which have shown an “inverse-J” pattern. The size-class structure of the second-growth forest is a result of a post-logging regeneration pulse.
