That threr gives an inacurate reading of how the natural processes of that particular area will regenerate. No doubt they were most likely non native to that area and what happens is that weeds (annuala) which are a bacterial based system will replace the forest floor mycorrhizal system already present. That alone will quite possibly hinder the growth and slow reforestation. <br /><br />On the north rim of the Grand Canyon on the Kaibab Plateau, there are meadows for which the grasses have a natural allelopathic properties which prevent forest trees from encroachment. You can see it by the extreme stunted growth at the forests edge. <br /><br />Seems a while here since you all last posted.Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761548307842808633.post-6439939415587959502011-10-24T14:38:09.173-07:002011-10-24T14:38:09.173-07:00Wow!!

When I hear a government, local or otherwise wants to do what yours is proposing, I see red. Your country apart from parks or mountain areas has no wilderness left. It's been continually eaten up for dubious growth. Your acquifers are low and contaminated,and with global warming parts of your country are drying up. And those areas are your food bowls. In some of your cities the air is so bad, that gasoline is pumped on special days. From your perspective what can we do to help? Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.P.S. When the British Government threaten to sell off the old forests e.g. Sherwood Forest, the Brits got a giant signature program together which included non-citizens.It apparently worked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328368010048580769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761548307842808633.post-27479501934525027392011-07-02T09:30:49.689-07:002011-07-02T09:30:49.689-07:00I cannot see that clear cutting anything would be ...I cannot see that clear cutting anything would be a good study model. The minute they change the natural forest you upset the ecosystem. This is truly awful.<br />Good for you for documenting it. Perhaps it will be a lesson learned.<br />I popped over from Eileen's page. <a href="http://mymuskoka.blogspot.com/2011/07/leopard-frog-in-garden.html" rel="nofollow"> my critters </a>!Jenn Jilkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259681360456905055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761548307842808633.post-68506627206285535682011-02-24T01:26:26.941-08:002011-02-24T01:26:26.941-08:00There is something so sad about seeing an old gian...There is something so sad about seeing an old giant felled. We have uncontrolled tree cutting in Africa. Thanks for highlighting this problem.

Or worse yet, who don't know a Crowsfoot from a Nodding Trillium. Good luck getting your message across. It's a well stated one.
