- Abstract:
- A comprehensive study of the impacts of HWA as a model of an important ecological process and a major threat to eastern forests: the selective removal of a dominant tree species from a forest ecosystem. The study will be comprised of two thrusts: 1. ecosystem, landscape and regional analyses of forest response to HWA; and 2. quantification and comparison of these ecological responses to those triggered by the pre-emptive logging of hemlock.
