We’ve all seen it in the field… Aldo Leopold alluded to it… parts of a forest ecosystem are missing or changed. Now the forest doesn’t respond the same to silvicultural treatments that worked in the past. The forest is less predictable. In other words, the forest has lost memory, specifically ecological memory. Join us on this episode of SilviCast as we explore the concept of ecological memory with Chris Webster, professor of quantitative ecology at Michigan Technological University. Learn how memory can get lost and how thoughtful silviculture can help restore these memories.
