all work for Hack ‘n Stack Timber Company has been hired by a landowner to selectively remove a number of trees for the dual purpose of opening the forest canopy to allow small black cherry, birch and oak saplings more light for better growth, thus increasing the diversity of forest trees, and of course to provide a monetary benefit for the landowner. To gain a full understanding of the forest composition, a small group of company employees have been charged with the task of determining the population density dominance, and frequency of each tree type identified through Quadrat Analysis. Use the data collected in the table to answer the questions below Given: One group of individuals sampled six quadrats that were 200 square meters each. | Total # of trees # of quadrats with tree species Tree Species Red Maple Basal Areas (cm2) 720, 540, 610, 1024, 729 1054, 468 5 1230, 987, 799, 1010, 823 Black Cherry Hemlock Oak Birch 1562, 512, 826 1700, 1250 824, 724, 632, 514, 589 A.
