Five centuries of changing forest vegetation in the northeastern United States

2001-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Maps of physiognomic classes of vegetation in the northeastern United States before European human impact and for the late 20th century, based on pollen data, closely resemble each other, indicating a robust pattern in the face of the novel and extensive disturbances of the last 500 years. On the other hand, species abundances have changed considerably, with today's vegetation having less Fagus L. and Tsuga Carrie...
