Abstract
The role of red maple (Acer rubrum) in the ecology of a mature oak forest in southern Wisconsin is analyzed from quadrat data from 5 stands of maple, from historical information, and existing knowledge of Wisconsin forest ecology. The presence of red maple in oak stands appears to indicate a transition stage from oak to maple-basswood climax.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
