Lodge Pole and Yellow Pine Distribution. 515 



Yellow Pine sites is limited only because of the greater age, height 

 and fire resistance of this species; third, that the area occupied 

 by Lodgepole Pine has been increased to some extent in places, 

 chiefly on account of fire ; fourth, that it is not likely that Yellow 

 Pine will ever retake any considerable area even on sites suited 

 to its growth because of the great advantages in seeding and in 

 light requirements of Lodgepole Pine.
