Abstract: 11 figures 1 table. [Study of 141 upland stands showed that "... recoverny by vascular plants, mosses and lichens is by vegetative reproduction and invastion by propagules. Buried viable seeds play little role in recovery. Lichen abundance is best explained by different habitat requirements rather than successional sequences or caribou grazing."]
