But the arrival of Europeans on America’s eastern shoresseveral centuries ago ushered in the rapid conversion of forests andwoodlands to other land uses. By the twentieth century, it appeared thatold-growth forests in the eastern United States were gone, replaced bycities, farms, transportation networks, and second-growth forests. Sincethat time, however, numerous remnants of eastern old growth have beendiscovered, meticulously mapped, and studied. Many of these ancientstands retain surprisingly robust complexity and vigor, and forestecologists are eager to develop strategies for their restoration and fornurturing additional stands of old growth that will foster biologicaldiversity, reduce impacts of climate change, and serve as benchmarks forhow natural systems operate.. . Forest ecologists William Keetonand Andrew Barton bring together a volume that breaks new ground in ourunderstanding of ecological systems and their importance for forestresilience in an age of rapid environmental change.
