- Abstract:
- The region covered by this study probably represents the soils and climate where red pine is capable of its best development. This is indicated by the rate of growth and hardiness that it displays both in plantations and in natural stands. On the other hand, speaking in terms of area, there is extremely little red pine in the region. It occurs only in patches or scattered groups on the poorer, sandier soils and at points often many miles apart. All of the stands found in this survey were in the towns of Warwick, Petersham, Baldwinsville, Winchendon, Ashburnham and Groton, in north-central Massachusetts, and in Rindge, Jaffrey, Wilton, Newport, Sunapee and New London, in southern New Hampshire, between the elevations of 700 feet and 1300 feet.
