The Eastern Hemlock, massive and majestic, has played a unique role
in structuring northeastern forest environments, from Nova Scotia
to Wisconsin and through the Appalachian Mountains to North
Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. A "foundation species"
influencing all the species in the ecosystem surrounding it, this
iconic North American tree has long inspired poets and artists as
well as naturalists and scientists. Five thousand years ago, the
hemlock collapsed as a result of abrupt global climate change. Now
this iconic tree faces extinction once again because of an invasive
insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid. Drawing from a century of
studies at Harvard University's Harvard Forest, one of the most
well-regarded long-term ecological research programs in North
America, the authors explore what hemlock's modern decline can tell
us about the challenges facing nature and society in an era of
habitat changes and fragmentation, as well as global change.
