| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest; Compartment 47 |
| Description: | Shafer in picture. Photo points up stagnated condition of pole size fir and spruce which has closed canopy completely; small hemlock are being crowded or suppressed in understory. There is little to no ground cover and note the fallen softwood at the foot of the figure, mortality apparently due to excessive suppression. Taken facing S20W from a point 0.6 chains S45E of stake 87-17. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
