SIZE‐CLASS STRUCTURE OF THREE STREAMSIDE FORESTS

Abstract
Analysis of size-class distribution in three streamside forest stands in central Illinois shows close agreement of observed data with the negative power curve model of tree size-class distribution. However, examination of the size-class distribution of selected species reveals a number of deviations from the model. Most of the deviations from the model can be explained in terms of disease and land use.
