The number of seedlings (less than 0.5 m tall) of all tree species on a 1 x 1 m resolution across six land use legacy sites (2 plowed, 2 pastured, 2 permanent woodlot) in summer 1996 were recorded to test several predictions about seedling abundance, diversity, and dispersion patterns, and their relationships to forest structure, microclimates, and soil resources.Forest Ecosystem Monitoring CooperativeForest Research at Harvard ForestEmeryBooseprincipalInvestigatorSince 1907, the Harvard Forest has served as a center for research and education in forest biology and conservation. The Forest's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, established in 1988 and funded by the National Science Foundation, provides a framework for much of this activity.Tree Seedlings in CRUI Land Use Project at Harvard Forest 1996Forests recovering from agricultural legacies differ in many ways that influence tree seed dispersal and seedling establishment patterns.
