Yeah, gonna need my hip boots for this... damn place was a desert then too. There weren't no lush forest phase after the glaciers, it was always arid, since the primordial seas rolled back.
Need a term.

Go visit the Petrified forest in AZ to reference what become of a forest with or with out our help over time. Then the next mountains are formed and nature finds a way.

You mean in Holbrook, 30 miles north of me? Been there. Did you know that the predominant species petrified is Sequoiadenderon Gigantium? (i think i spelled that right, phukin @stig making me work at it, I feel like I'm missing an "h")
On a clear day, from on top of my shipping containers I can see the petrified forest, and Holbrook, and part of the painted desert.

I knew you knew. More implying others really need to go check it out.
Actually, one of my favourite places when its got snow on it. Painted desert as well.

The high desert and the low are always pretty in the snow.
This whole mountian is pretty interesting in regards to natural history. Not far north of the petrified forest and painted desert is the location of some of the oldest, longest continuously occupied settlements in North America. Like Homolovi.

Spent ten years in AZ. It was a facination to me. So I visited a lot of it. Explored. Never did get to all of it.
I opened an office equipment business for a CA corp when I moved there. Out of Scottsdale. But we had a LARGE service area. From Flagstaff to Sells. East to west it was a narrow corridor. Had all the Muscular Dystrophy pretty much. I often did some of the deliveries and service routes. Often made a weekend adventure of it. Might as well explore while your out and about. Like, hey, might as well go see Santa Fe.....
Same as a kid. Family vacations meant seeing stuff in the states from CA to Kansas. Texas to Wyoming.

For example the old oak forests near me that have been killed off due to oak wilt are being replaced by maple trees. The maples will be a fine stand one day if left alone, tall and straight.

That is certainly how seed trees to pick cones from for reforestation stock are chosen.

Well, there is this one.
Cone picking pics for Bounce
I reckon the rest of you can look, too :). These were put up in one of the old versions of the THouse, so many of you may have seen them before. Sean and I were in chat, and he asked about cone picking. These were taken in the pre-digital days, 1999 I think. The first 3 are me, the last two...

Yeah, over here on the east coast in NH, we call the natural regen a "Pioneer Species" and never replant. 90 percent of NH is forested (I think).
The pioneer species are the junk trees, Poplar, Alder, Birch, etc. (understory trees that shade the good stuff) and the "money trees" which are Eastern White Pine, Red Oak, and Sugar Maple, get reseeded naturally and allowed to grow underneath the pioneer trees.
