softwood regeneration gap |
| Organisms: | white pine |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | An old field in the Farm Woodlot reverting to white pine and hardwoods. The first pines have been severely weeviled, but younger pines -- afforded some overstory protection -- have suffered little damage. White pine in the Paul Smiths area is regenerating only on old fields, and on some sandy soils. |

maple beech |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Large openings encouraged hard maple and beech reproduction. The large trees did not meet current standards of merchantability and were not wanted by the cutters 6 years earlier. Improving markets may permit harvest of some trees in the furture, but others are cull. "Can and should anything be done to help the better saplings? Would there be long-range benefits to compensate for investments made to improve the stand?" |

personnel blowdown gap |
| Organisms: | red maple |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Opening made by severe windstorms in 1950 and 1954. Nearly all of the 60-80-year-old red maples are severely affected by heart rot at each overgrown limb; they have been poisoned to release the softwoods. If the young maples developing in the opening are not controlled, they will someday duplicate the present overstory condition. |
