Spatially explicit saplings composition of young mixed wood forest in Mauricie, Qc, Ca.

All trees and shrubs above 1cm DBH were mapped, measured and identified to species on 12m radius for 25 sites in Mauricie, centre of Quebec. Forest were mixed coniferous-broadleaves naturally regenerating after clear cuts. About 2000 trees were cuts for dendrochronological studies. Additional information were taken on these trees as well: crown width, tree height, etc...
