forest in Akershus Country in the central part of southeastern Norway. The study revealed that the black grouse showed a greater preference for the earlier stages in the forest succession than did the capercaillie. In this area, the black grouse breeding habitat was characterized by a well-developed bush stratum. A high percentage of the capercaillie broods, however, was found in mature forest with a sparsely developed bush stratum. The black grouse broods seemed to prefer a plant community of the Dryopteris subassociation, while capercaillie broods had a more even distribution over the plant associations and subassociations in the area.
