beech yellow birch maple |
| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | A situation that is common in the Adirondacks: mature yellow birch and hard maple, with beech in a secondary position. In similar stands, cutting of the better hardwoods -- with only a limited market for beech -- has put beech in a dominant position. With the abundance of beech reproduction of all sizes, lack of hard maple of similar sizes, and the intolerance of the birch, it appears that beech can remain in possession of such sites for a long time. "Is this desirable or undesirable?" |

| Description: | On the Farm Woodlot poor-quality red maples were poisoned to release balsam fir. The maple at the left is riddled with heart rot. These red maples occupied this site for 40 years and most of them now prove to be unmerchantable because of extensive heartrot. "Have 40 years been wasted? Can we anticipate this and prevent it? Is it worth it?" |

| 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?" |

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." |
