Perhaps the most striking feature of Table No. 5 is the relatively 

 small importance of white cedar. It may be that this is largely due to the 

 elimination of most cedar browse within reach of the deer by former utilization. 

 At any rate, hazel, hard maple, red maple, and mountain maple seem to be of 

 most widespread importance. Although fairly restricted in range, dogwood is 

 usually very important where it does occur. It must be remembered that these 

 figures are for the most part based on numbers of stems browsed. Species such 

 as hazel are probably not quite as important as they appear, while species 

 like balsam would contribute more food than indicated.
