165 citations recorded by the source corpus.
Oaks (Quercus spp.) are important components in many temperate forest ecosystems, and a new book that synthesizes information on their management is always of interest. The intent of this book was to bring together knowledge from a diverse group of people who study oak forests and make that information available to those interested in managing those forests in a sustainable manner for wildlife. I think the authors have done a good job in achieving their objectives.

- Circles, spirals, pyramids and cubes: why the circular economy cannot work (2018, background): “Squirrels do not remember where they hid all of the nuts (Crawley and Long 1995; Steele and Smallwood 2001).”
- Seasonal migrations of black bears (Ursus americanus): causes and consequences (2011, background): “Bears and many species prefer these acorns to those of red oak, presumably due to their lower tannin content (Kirkpatrick and Pekins 2002).”
- Artificial Regeneration of Major Oak (Quercus) Species in the Eastern United States—A Review of the Literature (2008, background): “One of several hypotheses to explain masting in oaks is that acorn predators are satiated when oaks produce high mast crops (Silvertown 1980, Kelly 1994, Koenig and Knops 2002).”
- Underplanting to sustain future stocking of oak (Quercus) in temperate deciduous forests (2012, background): “Concerns for quality of wildlife habitat and sustaining viable populations are emerging because of the projected reductions in mast producing oaks and loss of early successional habitat (McShea and Healy 2002; Greenberg et al. 2011).”
- Survival and growth of upland oak and co-occurring competitor seedlings following single and repeated prescribed fires (2008, background): “This genus is important not only in terms of dominance, but also in its production of a nutrient-rich, hard mast consumed by numerous birds and mammals (McShea and Healy, 2002).”
