Forest Composition and Stand Variables in Algoma
- Variations in topography, soil, and climate create diverse forest types, mainly deciduous in south and boreal in north.
- Forest stands include mixed species, with balsam fir, spruce, pine, and hardwoods, often in complex combinations.
- Historical fire and logging have influenced stand age, structure, and species distribution, with some areas heavily affected.
- Data collection involved extensive field sampling, recording tree species, diameters, heights, and stand characteristics.
- Stand tables show species composition, diameter classes, basal areas, and volumes, highlighting dominant species and stand density.
