		<description>I’m not trying to toot my own horn here, but there are some extraneous factoids you might be interested in.

The little graph above is the result of many months, years even, of strenuous physical effort, demanding technical analysis, and considerable expense. You couldn’t reproduce that little graph from scratch today for less than $50,000. Yet it is presented to you, Dear Reader, for free.

The little graph above is not buried in a “peer-reviewed” journal, and hidden in the back stacks of a cavernous university library. We jumped that checker and are placing this bit of science directly into public view.

The little graph above is unique. Nobody does forest age distributions. Check the literature. Diameter distributions are common; age distributions are not. They’re too difficult. You have to increment bore trees (and analyze the cores), not merely sling a d-tape around them. The difference is hours per tree versus seconds. Another innovative feature of the little graph is its logarithmic axis. This is easy to do and visually reveals details in the data, yet it has never been done before in this context.

Landmark forest science, cutting-edge techniques, laid at your computer doorstep for free. I wanted you to realize all that. No need to thank me; you're welcome regardless.</description>
