Abstract

New York has mature forests dominated by hardwood species, but with a significant and varied softwood resource. Most of the trees are healthy, with full crowns (low transparency, high density), little dieback and little damage. American beech tends to be in poorer condition, with thin crowns, higher dieback, and more damage, especially broken and dead branches.
