Abstract The northern hardwoods forest ecosystem of eastern North America provides a wealth of products and services to human society. These forests have been managed under partial harvesting treatments to meet wood production objectives of desired species while maintaining or increasing structural and compositional heterogeneity.

We used a retrospective approach to examine the impacts of disturbance and site factors on sapling (trees > 130 cm in height and
