Habitat Characteristics
Plot 1 had the greatest diversity of tree species (table 4). This plot also had the greatest stand density
with the lowest average diameter at breast height (DBH) of all 4 stations. Plot 2's wildlife tree average
DBH measurements were more than double that of all other sites. Live tree DBH at this location was also
highest on average. The decay class of wildlife trees was similar in plots 1, 2, and 4. The decay was most
advanced in plot 4 and least progressed in plot 3.
