Fig. 3. Average unstandardized basal area chronology of sugar maple for deciduous Forest Ecosystem Research and Monitoring Network (Réseau d'étude et de surveillance des écosystèmes forestiers [RESEF]) study plots in Québec after removal of the suppression period, and associated linear growth trend since 1960. Early parts of series (dotted line) represent the reduced number of cores.
