| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| 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. |

| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Loss of occassional stems from this dense stand of softwoods was enough to encourage balsam fir and red spruce seedlings. Few hardwoods develop under these circumstances. Soil moisture is abundant and probably has a strong influence. |

| Location: | Paul Smith Experimental Forest |
| Description: | Some of the oldest and largest red spruce in this area. On a similar, nearby area, two hurricanes within an 8-year period destroyed 20 sq. feet of basal area of spruce. The eastern spruce beetle population probably built up in the windfall and they now are attacking and killing some large spruce like these. |
