| 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?" |

| 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?" |
