The forestry, rangeland, and ecology communities have generally overlooked semi-arid old-growth woodlands. Old-growth are typically structurally more complex than postsettlement woodlands adding biological diversity to the landscape and providing an important source of habitat for many organisms. Mapping and inventorying old-growth woodlands are extremely important in developing management and land-use plans.
