Some other information related to the paper on ice damage/forest structure.

Use the following three papers and your book to for the literature cited component of the paper. I do not expect you to find other references. Follow the example set in the regular Ecology articles as to how to cite material in the body of your paper and how to reference the citation in the literature cited section of the paper.

Runkle, James R. 1998. Changes in southern Applachian canopy tree gaps sampled thrice. Ecology 79(5): 1768-1781.

Valverde, Teresa and Jonathan Silvertown. 1997. Canopy closure rate and forest structure. Ecology 78(5): 1555-1563.

I will post here tomorrow elevations for the four sample locations.

You might want to think about either figures or tables in your paper. If so, follow the example of Ecology as to placement of labels. Be sure to reference any table or figure in the body of your paper.
