Long-Term Vegetation Dynamics and Disturbance History of a Tsuga-Dominated Forest in New England
The post—glacial history of two adjacent sites in the Harvard Forest, a 10—ha swamp (Black Gum Swamp) and a 0.006—ha hollow in a Tsuga canadensis forest were investigated using pollen analysis to examine the long—term vegetation dynamics of the two sites resulting from environmental change, species migration, and disturbance.

1. The landscape transformation of central New England resulting from deforestation (1750-1860), broad-scale agriculture (1790-1860), and extensive reforestation (1860-present) has exerted a major…
