19911990 Summary:
To determine the maximum size of treeline tree species in a burned and unburned valley in the Caribou Hills, the mass of standing trees on different slopes and aspects will be estimated and related to the energy input. In 1992 the plots prepared in 1990 and planted and seeded in 1991, will be revisited and measurement of growth for the second growing season will be taken....
