Let's look at a sample woodlot that has three distinct stand types and determine the site history of each type based on what we know about the strategy for survival for each species. Based on what you have just read and your own experiences, what would be the site history and stand establishment recommendations for the following three stands?
STAND 1:
40 year old evenaged stand 90% white spruce; 10% balsam fir, grey birch
