| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | With light selection cutting (residual stand 70 sq. ft. B.A.) existing understory beech were benefited, but few hard maple, white ash, and yellow birch seedlings grew more than 12 inches high. This is 17 years after the first cutting. "Does this happen only on less-fertile soils? Would hard maples have reacted like this on more-fertile soils? Maple seed trees were more abundant here than beech seed trees." |
