Project descriptionFour 10-acre plots, all fully or partially on what is now the Stanislaus-Tuolumne Experimental Forest (Stanislaus National Forest), were established in old-growth mixed conifer stands in 1928 and 1929. All trees were mapped, and data on species, diameter, and height were taken prior to logging. Patches of shrubs, tree regeneration, and downed logs were mapped on at least some plots in the initial surveys.
