Date(yyyy): 1928
Comments: Coconino Sample Plot S5; Taken 20' behind corner F4, Plot S5I (F). Area not fenced. Area is at base of slope. Brush piles were not burned. The one at left which was more densely packed than the others is still partly intact. Undecayed slash serves to check and hold storm water comingn from slope above. Benefit of this is reflected in the diameter growth of sapling shown in foreground which has been at the uniform rate of 0.44 inch per annum since 1913. Note also how size and density of crown has increased. (Repeat of 1913 photo.) See La-96 (1959). See also DJN-58
