Generalized relationships between initial seedling basal diameter (Diam2005) and 5-year height growth (Ht2010–Ht2005) evaluated at three levels (60, 75, and 90 %) of plot-level canopy cover (Cover) for underplanted cherrybark oak, water oak, and yellow-poplar seedlings. The family of curves were developed using the following models for cherrybark oak (107.83756 + 10.78096 (Diam2005) − 1.5077 (Cover), R 2 = 0.49), water oak (110.71236 + 9.03465 (Diam2005) − 1.43991 (Cover), R 2 = 0.31), and yellow-poplar (120.53562 + 14.78634 (Diam2005) − 2.48226 (Cover), R 2 = 0.70). Initial seedling diameter and canopy cover array used to estimate height growth trends fall within the study’s observed data range
