Stephenson SL. 1986. Changes in a Former Chestnut-Dominated Forest after a Half Century of Succession. The American Midland Naturalist. 116(1):173-179
This article describes a study where a chestnut-dominated forest was surveyed in order to determine the extent and nature of compositional changes after half a century of succession. It was concluded that after a half century of succession no single species has assumed the dominant or codominant role once occupied by chestnut in forest communities.
