The data shows that different plant species thrive in different habitats and at different elevations. However, it is unclear which variables affect this distribution the most. Light intensity, canopy coverage, ground coverage, slope, and elevation, among other variables, may all affect the distribution of plant species in an area. Further tests are required to make any conclusions. The variables mentioned before would have to be isolated from other variables in these tests.
The results of the coring (taking core samples from the trees identified in the circular 0.01 hectare plots) show that the diameter of the tree is not necessarily correlated with its age. For example, one of the white pines with a diameter of 73 cm was found to be younger than a hemlock tree nearby with a diameter of 35.3 cm. However, perhaps trees of the same species may be the same age if they have the same diameter. For example, three hemlocks that had diameters ranging from 40 to 46 cm, all were estimated to be 140 years old.
