I'll be saying this at
WP:FLC as well: I concede that Canada doesn't have a monopoly on forest inventories ... so if someone wants to propose and defend alternative inventories, I have no problem with that. I'd prefer to keep the current page title, but as a fall-back position, if necessary, the page could have a title that focuses only on Canada's national forest inventory of native trees. - Dank (

Pinus albicaulis is the only
threatened species in this list (and I'd rather not mention that because that classification doesn't seem well-supported;
this page lists it as just a candidate to be added to a threatened list). - Dank (

There are two things that people may ask for at
WP:FLC that I'm going to resist (strongly): descriptions and pests, which the sources call "damaging agents". Each article for these trees has a description section that's almost always named "Description" and almost always the first section in the article; see for instance
Picea sitchensis#Description. Clearly, that's not something that could be successfully and accurately summarized to fit into the space allotted here. There's so much to say about "damaging agents" that I'm going to do a separate list for that, focused to some extent on the agents rather than the trees. - Dank (

Put the vernacular name of the genus in brackets under the genus name, rather than as text in an additional row.

You've used () for species vernacular names. I'd be consistent and use the same for genus vernacular names.

This is the raw data (public domain, as always) on growth requirements from the
the USDA Plants database, copied yesterday. I'm listing this because it's possible people will want to organize the data in some different way in the future. - Dank (
