	Botany - Goat Island Complex - Niagara Falls
		Since Goat Island was said to have had a primeval forest in its first decades as a Reservation, one would expect the woods to be composed of relatively well-spaced trees of some maturity, a dense canopy above, darkness below and herbaceous vegetation or bare soil beneath the trees.
		The type of primeval or climax forest on Goat Island must have been a kind of disclimax, or modification of a primary climax forest, that is, a climax community depending for its maintenance on continuing disturbance (Daubenmire, 1968).
		I was told by one of the workmen on Goat Island that as little as thirty-five years ago, in winter one could not see out to the other side of the forest.
