Thanks, Eric.

Looked through all three and am still not convinced that there has been a
lot of study of BC's west coast rainforests.

JFFranklin writes 70 papers a year. Does he spend any time actually in the
forest? His studies appear to deal mostly with the Sierra Nevada area,
hardly what we are talking about here.

JPKimmins appears to be a computer chap, more interested in modelling than
actually going out into the forest. One of his graduate students is working
on BC Forests. The focus appears to be on what happens after you cut the old
forest down, not the old forest itself.

While there are people out there grabbing the big FRBC grants, it is not
clear that they are actually studying the rain forest.
