Hudson WD, Parrella D, Calderera M, Wolf K. 1986. Old-Growth Forest, Subalpine Forest, and Alpine Areas in the Bigelow Preserve, Mahoosuc Mtns., and the Baldpates. National Park Service; Maine Bureau of Public Lands. Bigelow Preserve, Mahooosuc Mtns., Baldpates, Maine

This report is the conclusion of work begun in Baxter State Park in 1984 and detailed in an earlier paper. The records and observations found herin, especially in the sites examined in detail, represent a baseline of scientific data that will allow meaningful evaluation of change with time when a similar study is conducted in 10-20 yrs. The forest stands examined in 1985 do not show the same levels of disturbance as that recorded and measured in Baxter State Park, and so these data also provide a timely comparison of subalpine forest across the slopes of Maine's highest mountains.
