This plot was on a 20 degree slope, coming up from the lake shore. We stopped about 3/4 the way up to the top, and wandered into the forest a bit to find this plot. The large red oak and paper birch looked healthy, though the birch looked to be on it's way out within the next 20 years, as the mid-sucessional trees take over. The cedar had a 30% live-crown ratio, which is decent, considering it was an intermediate-class tree. This was a fairly diverse area; sometimes diveristy isn't reflected in our plots because they are so small. The shift in terrain and substrate causes a shift in species composition as well.
