Dear members of the newsgroup:

     I have a general question for the group regarding tree growth and
density.  At our school (Auburn Univ., Alabama, USA) there is an argument
regarding tree density and whether or not it is significantly affected by
tree growth.  There is some South African studies which say that age is not
the true factor, although many of my colleges say that their practical
experience is that it is.  I believe that this question would be an
excellent subject for a group discussion, especially since old trees
available for harvest are becoming more and more rare.  I look forward to
any comments.
                                           Sincerely yours
                                         Douglas J. Marshall
