Project Overview

Assess the effects of beech decline related to beech bark disease on forest composition and soil chemistry at sites in the Catskills and the White Mountains.
Objectives
Locate 180 stands in the Catskills and 111 stands in the White Mountains where a canopy beech tree has died and the canopy gap had subsequently been filled. Measure which species fill the gap, the vegetation within and surrounding the plot, and the chemistry of the soil in the plot.
