Good morning, Is there an average distance between mature trees in an forest? I know it depends on the kind of forest and what kind of disturbance there has been, so general measurements from a variety of different forest types and locations would be great. Maybe there is a web site?
I want to compare the density of other forests with the 50 acre NYBG forest (an oak, hickory, beech, maple, ash, etc. forest with lots of invaders in the process of being removed - amur cork, amur honeysuckle, ailanthus altissima, and aralia spinosa. Also many wide trails and the Bronx River running through with a flood plain on the west side and steepish slope on the east side. Many outcrops of schist and gneiss.) Thanks!
