Description :
This study looks at the apparent most northwestern outlier of the maple-basswood community type, Rydell National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Minnesota. Specific goals are to determine if the maple-basswood stands at Rydell NWR existed historically, and to compare the composition of the Rydell NWR stands to maple-basswood core sites, as well as other outlier sites. Finally, whether they ascertain whether regional environmental gradients are expressed through compositional differences among geographically diverse stands within the maple-basswood community type.
