Talk:Secondary forest

message: I'm thinking of adjusting the format of the article slightly and incorporating existing information (as well as adding new information/references) into a few new categories. These new categories would include "Development", "Characteristics" (subheadings Biodiversity and Climate change mitigation), and "Biomes". Does this sound helpful?

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: According to Reading the Forested Landscape by Tom Wessels, hurricanes or other high winds usually either snap the tops off trees or uproots them.  A timber harvest on the other hand, where trees are cut with a saw, leaves stumps with a flat top, which appears to be the case in this photo. Perhaps the caption should be changed.

message: I can't say I'm terribly familiar with the term "third-growth" forest, but I'm rather puzzled by the distinction between secondary and "third-growth" forests.  Anyone aware of any references that distinguish between the two?  Guettarda (talk) 23:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second-growth versus third-growth 

message: The initial definition of a Second Growth forest is unclear.  If "A secondary forest (or second-growth forest) is a forest or woodland area which has re-grown after a major disturbance such as fire, insect infestation, timber harvest or windthrow, until a long enough period has passed so that the effects of the disturbance are no longer evident" then a Second-Growth forest would be indistinguishable from a Old-Growth one. But the article then describes how to distinguish the two. Surely a second growth forest has merely returned to the ground cover or height of an old growth one but retains other differences.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.43.37 (talk) 18:27, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. Forest degradation is a process that can take place in any kind of forest. Secondary forest is a condition of the forest which typically denotes that a forest is recuperating after degradation or deforestation. I suggest to create a new article.
