From the text ... 'Knowledge of reproduction characteristics is important in determining successional trends of forest types and predicting future composition of specific forest stands. Although the origin of the present forest of Itasca park was largely associated with early forest fires, the management of this area has essentially eliminated fire as a factor affecting current regeneration processes. Because of this and a minimal amount of disturbance by man's activities, Itasca Park provides an ideal field laboratory for the study of 'natural' forest regeneration in the absence of fire.'
