- Abstract:
- Plantations have been part of forestry at Harvard Forest since its beginning. Plantations were established from 1911-1944, usually on open or cut-over land. Tending of plantations ceased about 1950.
- A suite of permanent vegetation plots was established throughout the plantations to assess vegetation structure in plantations and predict future dynamics in harvested and early seral habitats. Our objective is to contrast the changing biodiversity and aboveground carbon content in the harvested and unharvested sites.
