I would like to comment about my earlier statement that "slow growing
trees live longer than fast growing trees within a species."
At the recent Natural Areas Conference held in late October, 1995 in
Fayetteville, Arkansas there was a full day session on ancient
forests. Several presenters made comments like the one above and at
least one presenter made reference to published papers on the subject.
I am trying to obtain those references and will post them to this
listserv as soon as possible.
