| Organisms: | hemlock |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Severe winds can cause damage even to these old veteran hemlocks. They exceed 200 years of age, and withstood storms until soil moisture, wind strength and direction, and their own large size led to their destruction. Prior to the storm, no cutting had occured here within 50 years. Some logs were salvaged. |

| Description: | Overstory of 100-year-old white pine with dense understory of tolerant balsam fir and red spruce. This is typical in this vicinity. There is little opportunity for new white pines. These 100-year-old pines originated after an extremely hot fire burned heavy softwood slash. |

| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Some of the oldest and largest red spruce in this area. On a similar, nearby area, two hurricanes within an 8-year period destroyed 20 sq. feet of basal area of spruce. The eastern spruce beetle population probably built up in the windfall and they now are attacking and killing some large spruce like these. |

| Location: | Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas |
| Description: | Caption reads: "Mature and over-mature stand of shortleaf pine showing typical flat top tree in foreground. 19.4 inches d.b.h., and 53 feet high. A 2-log tree rotten in the center. Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest. These are 2 to 4-log trees averaging about 3 logs. Total hieghts probably range from 45 to 85 feet. 33 pines from 8 to 26 inches in diameter and 1 10-inch black gum were tallied on an acre. Permanent sample plots in such stands as this would be of most value in a study of the normal rates of mortality over a period of years. Such information is needed by the National Forest in order to judge the effective of withholding mature and over-mature trees because of relative inaccessibility of stands, the desire to maintain cover, or "fire insurance" seed trees, or for the purpose of spreading the allowable cut over the period required to bring the growing stock of the forest to normal."
