A classification of the forest types of North America<br />

Type Journal Article<br />

Author John L. Vankat<br />

Abstract Previous classifications at continental to state/provincial scales were surveyed in order to produce a new<br />

classification of North American forests. This classification is of present-day forests and includes both seral and<br />

old-growth forest types. The classification is hierarchical, as physiognomically-based formation types are<br />

defined on the basis of growth form of dominant trees and subdivided into forest types according to the species<br />

of these dominants. The classification includes a total of 68 forest types and 1 complex of forest types. These<br />

are presented by formation type (9) and by forest region (11). The number of formation types is largest in forest<br />

regions where major climate types intergrade, i.e., in the United States Coastal Plain and Piedmont Lowland (6<br />

types) and the Central American Montane (5). The number of forest types is largest in the Eastern United States<br />

Lowland (12) and the Rocky Moutain—Sierra Madre Oriental—Sierra Madre Occidental Montane (11).<br />

A comparison of stand structure and fire history in two black oak woodlands in northwestern Indiana<br />

Type Journal Article<br />

Author Norman R. Henderson<br />

Author James N. Long<br />

Abstract The composition and structure of two black oak woodlands in northwestern Indiana are examined. Current<br />

conditions are compared with those existing in the early 1800s, based on public land survey records of the two<br />

areas. <strong>Fire</strong> histories during the past 50 yr are reconstructed from fire scars, age-class distributions, and<br />

fire-control records. On the basis of this information, we concluded that frequency and intensity of fire strongly<br />

influence stand structure and succession in these black oak woodlands.<br />
