The region is mountainous, with large wooded and un populated areas.
No special attention was given to siting in relation to shade, so that pats were least shaded in the wooded grassland.
We suggest that these wooded patches accumulate nutrients and thus maintain locally high soil fertility in an otherwise nutrient-poor grassland matrix.
Thus, we may find ourselves having walked miles of city sidewalks or wooded paths almost blindly while engrossed in deep conversation with a friend.
Other structures were tied to welldefined geographical area and area resources (water, agricultural land, terraces, high-forest wooded zones).
Plot 15 was located in wooded grasslands at the forest margin in 1944 and reveals changes as forest species established and canopy closure progressed.
Plot 15 was established in wooded grassland at the forest edge and is now closed high forest.
We tested several hypotheses related to soil nutrient and moisture availability inside and outside wooded patches and the effects of fire and browsing.
