Abstract
Forest composition varies significantly between soil types (p<0.0005). Although particle size is not a significant determinant in judging the success of white pine in a specific soil type, white pine seem to be more abundant on soil type 6 (excessively drained sands). Although present white pine density is nearly 2.6 times as great as in predisturbance stands, current biomass per tree is not yet equal to that of pre-logging times. After comparing current vegetation cover in Cheboygan County to that of pre-logging times, it was found that the amount of white pine biomass is 7.54% that of the ancient forests.Subjects
