Due to a mistake during the production process, there was one error in paragraph 3 of the introduction in the original published version [1]. The Forests Editorial Office wishes to make the following correction to this paper. The correct paragraph is shown below:
“Canopy disturbance and subsequent increases in the quantity and quality of understory insolation is critical for the regeneration of Quercus [25,34]. Without receiving increased photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), Quercus seedlings are not able to recruit to the sapling size class and mortality rates are high (referred to as the Quercus bottleneck). Thus, silvicultural systems in Quercus stands are largely developed to modify the light regime [35,36]. In Quercus stands with an abundance of shade-tolerant trees in sub-canopy strata, increased light caused by canopy disturbance may be restricted from reaching Quercus seedlings near the forest floor. As canopy disturbance is required for Quercus regeneration, Quercus advanced reproduction in stands may exhibit clumped or clustered patterns as a result of current or former canopy openings [14,37]. By using stand-level averages of metrics such as basal area and stem density, intra-stand spatial patterns, which can be highly variable, may not be revealed. Adjusting our management approach to account for intra-stand spatial variability requires the reevaluation of the stand concept [38–40]. Natural disturbances can create variable patches because of temporal variation in disturbance intensity, local variation in tree size, species susceptibility, and topographic variations among other factors [41–45].”
We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers and authors by this mistake. We will update the article and the original version will remain available on the article webpage.
