- Observation Beech regeneration was independent of major disturbance where shade tolerant broadleaf trees were uncommon.
- Observation These stands were mainly on steep faces or ridges with carbon:nitrogen ratios above 18.
- Association Beeches were sparser with restricted age ranges on higher nitrogen sites with abundant shade tolerant trees.
- Observation One even aged stand appeared to establish after windthrow.
- Observation Four other stands appeared to establish after fires.
- Observation Landslides only rarely enabled beeches to capture lowland sites.
- Observation Beeches form stable self replacing stands on low nitrogen sites.
- Observation Disturbances sometimes permit beech establishment on higher nitrogen sites.
