This study was undertaken to investigate the status of the american beech as a possible waning species. Contrary to several authors, the results do not suggest a decline in the american beech population. The declines previously indicated probably result from the use of disturbed study sites and incomplete consideration of differences in mortality patterns. The data suggests a stable Beech-Maple forest with neither species experiencing permanent changes in populations. / Department of Biology
