Content
Plot and tree location plans. Probably a KMU file sent to FRI by T. Cooper. Cooper files notes 22.1.75 and 15.3.84 (MS). Data for measurements of 'seed trees' left after partial logging in 1945. Measurements 1950 (plot established) to 1970 when plot abandoned. Most residual trees on impoverished site, poor growth and probably root damage during logging. 4p report (Lloyd) with appendices dated 15.10.56: residual kauri regarded as 'suppressed'.
