http://www.ncrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/viewpub.asp?key=261 Title: Information about old growth for selected forest type groups in the eastern United States. Author: Tyrrell, Lucy E.; Nowacki, Gregory J.; Buckley, David S.; Nauertz, Elizabeth A.; Niese, Jeffrey N.; Rollinger, Jeanette L.; Crow , Thomas S.; Zasada, John C. Year: 1998 Publication: General Technical Report NC-197. St. Paul, MN: U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service, North Central Forest Experiment Station Abstract: Compiles information about old-growth attributes for nine forest type groups that occur in the eastern United States. A range of values for each old-growth attribute for each forest type is summarized regionally from published and unpublished sources. This is a large file that is 244 MB in size. If you have a fast modem I would encourage you to download the full document. It should take less than an hour on a cable modem. The file is an Adobe Acrobat pdf file. Essentially there is an image of every page put sequentially into the pdf document. You can't cut and paste text from the file to another application. The total file is 433 pages in length. Of this total over 300 pages are tables of one sort or another, and another 40 are bibliographies and other appendices. Much of the useful information in the document is compiled into these tables and appendices. However, if you just want the text of the document, and the key diagrams, I have posted two files totaling 12 MB file temporarily to the ENTS Google list site: http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en The first OG_forest_types1.doc contains the introductory material. The second OG_forest_types2.doc includes the breakdown of the information by forest types. They total 88 pages, a much more printer friendly total to read through. The data in the tables can be perused in the complete pdf file listed above. My file also is a cut and paste of images of the pages included in the pdf file and not in a text format. it shall be up for only a limited time as I do not want to hog the file sharing section of the Google site.
