The History and Status of the Hemlock-Hardwood Forests of the Allegheny Plateau
Abstract
(...) Before settlement, Fagus grandifolia (beech) and Tsuga canadensis (hemlock) dominated the moister segments of the Plateau. Outliers of the more southern Appalachian oak forest occupied the more xerophytic sites, e.g. upper slopes, stonier soils, and soils with a fragipan. The disturbance regime of the pre-settlement period, creating small canopy gaps, favoured the ascendancy of the slower growing shade-tolerant beech and hemlock in the understorey and eventually the overstorey. (...)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
