The soil property models for white oak, northern red oak, and
yellow poplar are provided in Table 4.
Yellow poplars and birches provide softer color, and dark-red oaks and dogwoods form a backdrop.
Yellow poplar was found growing in the riparian vegetation of all study sites.
Yellow poplar had the highest frequency of occurrence, followed by red maple (Acer rubrum), black oak (Quercus velutina), and red oak (Quercus rubra).
Yellow poplar, also known as American white-wood, should not be confused with the softwood whitewood species Picea abies and Picea alba.
We made our chair from
yellow poplar. Poplar is lightweight, strong, inexpensive and easy to work with, plus it takes paint beautifully.
The barn bore testimony to the use of local trees for construction, and the beams were wrought from white oak, chestnut, or
yellow poplar, while the siding was cut from pine or hemlock.
This decrease in red maple and increase in oaks and yellow-poplar reflects the expected successional progression toward the species composition of the forest before clear-cutting in 1984, which was dominated by oaks, hickories and
yellow poplar. Although
yellow poplar is an early successional species, it is also an important component of the mature mixed-mesophytic forest (Buckner and McCracken, 1978; Skeen et al., 1980) and comprised 15% of the volume of the second-growth forest at this site before clear-cutting (Overstreet, 1984).
Importance sampling was applied to a set of 336
yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) trees, 97 loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees, 39 sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) trees, and 80 slash pine (Pinus elliotii Engelm.) trees.
Three wood species were considered: eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), southern yellow pine (Pinus taeda), and
yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera).
