Description
Summary:This book explores the ecology of the ever-changing Maine forest. The book offers an introduction to the state's forests and also serves as a detailed and accessible narrative of the dynamism of these ecosystems. This is natural history with a long view, starting with an overview of the state's geological history, the reemergence of the forest after glacial retreat, and the surprising changes right up to European arrival. The authors create a vivid picture of Maine forests just before the impact of Euro-Americans and trace the profound transformations since settlement.
