This plot had a gorgeous (and gigantic) red oak on it. We saw it from the path as we were noting the change from the cedar-dominated bluffs, to a more mixed forest/mixed hardwood interior. The oak had an excellent crown and a straight bole (minus a little damage on one side near the base from lightening or rot) for the first 20-25 feet, and then showed characteristics of an open grown tree (large, spreading crown), so we deduced that it was here before most of the rest of the forest, and might have been part of an old field or pasture. The same went for the white pine, which is generally an old field invader. The pine was also relatively large, with 60% live crown ratio, so we think the pine and oak appeared about the same time. The beech tree had evidence of beech bark disease (little white crusty patches) and the usually smooth bark was beginning to split erratically. Fortunately there were few beeches around it, and it had not yet begun to sprout.
