Abstract

The hemlock forest Model represents the varying diversities along an environmental gradient. Variations in elevation can potentially yield alterations in various biological processes, which subsequently form complex assemblage interactions. The hemlock forest displayed a high level of diversity between the depressions and mounds, and was largely due to the overall properties of the soil. The mound location was relative of high drainage efficiency, and was thusly comprised mainly of hemlock trees. This species of conifer alters the composition of the local soils, eluviating and reducing the prominence of nutrient rich soils. Alternatively, the relatively wet depressions possessed higher quantities of nutrients, yet lacked proper air circulation within the soils. This limiting factor was relative to the lack of hemlocks and prominence of red maples observed within the transect. Further analysis revealed little or facilitation among generalist and specialist species, indicating that alternate processes were responsible for the trends observed. Similarly, little or no competition was observed among the species, as further analysis of these complex interactions is required.
