A partial release treatment was applied during the third growing season and compared to a control. The growth increment after six years is analyzed with respect to treatment and competition layers. Although the release treatment reduced competition at all vegetation layers growth was mostly determined by the density of the upper layer. Deer herbivory was not increased by the release. The release treatment succeeded in significantly increasing available light for the duration of the study while the understory recovered quickly. Planted trees particularly red oak responded well to the release treatment. Results substantiate the need for dynamic silviculture in sensitive rural landscapes where conservation of forest structure is important. under-planting light early-successional forests deer herbivory thinning treatment Résumé - Plantation sous-couvert de chêne rouge et cerisier tardif en forêt décidue pionnière d Amérique du Nord. Des chênes rouges et cerisiers tardifs ont été introduits sous couvert de jeunes peuplements d origine agricole dans une étude visant l amélioration de la productivité de peuplements pionniers de la forêt décidue tempérée d Amérique du Nord.
