  • Twenty-five meter strips were cut progressively on a 2 year cycle on Watershed 4 at HBEF from 1970-1974 for moderate impact on the terrain. 25 x 25 meter vegetation plots were established post cutting and have been measured regularly for estimates and timing of herbaceous plant and tree succession. Ten years into regrowth there was no noticeable difference between the age of the strips and vegetation cover. By year 40 successional pin cherry died off and northern hardwoods returned as the dominant trees with yellow birch playing a particularly prominent role due to the abundance of seeds provided by remaining adults along cut strips. This dataset contains a table of tree measurements and a table of sapling measurements. These vegetation measurements continue at approximately 10 year intervals.
