A Half Century of Change in a Great Smoky Mountains Cove Forest
Busing RT. 1989. A Half Century of Change in a Great Smoky Mountains Cove Forest. Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. 116(3):283 - 288
Two old-growth cove forests were studied. The one that had held chestnut trees now held more sugar maple, silverbell, and hemlock than previously. Minor compositional shifts occur without greatly changing the species ratio of a forest.
