[from the text] Examination of literature reveals that ecologists are not entirely in agreement concerning the origin and climax characteristics of the pine-hemlock-hardwood forests of the Great Lakes region. Most of these differences may be attributed to lack of information, and, therefore, be- fore they can be harmonized, more facts concerning conditions in various habitats must be collected. This paper attempts to describe and interpret conditions existing in one of the habitat types in the region. It is a by-product of an investigation concerned chiefly with hemlock and is limited to conditions existing on the clay and sandy clay soils in the Ottawa National Forest near the western end of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
