Abstract
The Bartlett Experimental Forest, in the heart of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, has since 1931 been the site of numerous studies on northern hardwoods silviculture. The current grid system of 441 0.25-acre cruise plots was remeasured in 1939-40, 1991-92, and 2000-03 (Jensen 1941; Filip et al. 1960; Leak 1961; and Leak and Smith 1996). Woody stems larger than 1.5 inches dbh have been remeasured by 1-inch diameter class. This work provides a 70-year span of descriptive detail on changes in the forest as a whole. This paper describes many of the longer term wildlife-habitat relationship studies that have been conducted on the 1,052 ha Bartlett Experimental Forest, and in the surrounding White Mountain National Forest landscape.
