Summary:

"In 2021, the Southern Research Station celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding as the Southern and Appalachian Forest Experiment Stations. This volume includes 20 contributed articles on the history of these stations, spanning nearly the entire century. These include biographies on former and current staff members; essays on how the stations were organized, staffed, and led; early incarnations of the botany, forest survey, genetics, statistics, and publication programs; the establishment and operation of some experimental forests; and several accounts of how these stations' research supported local communities and industries. Although far from complete, these articles help illuminate the people, places, and programs that helped restore and rebuild southern forests, forestry, and associated communities into the dynamic and vibrant region experienced today."
