Bob: Excellent report. I just arrived home in MN after stopping in PA Sunday evening and at my brothers house in WI Monday night. This is not exactly the frigid land you mention--it was over 70 degrees here today and yesterday. We are in an unusual November heat wave, and have not had snow like that I drove through in PA on the way out to MA.
Here is my definition of forest health that you requested: A forest is healthy as long as it maintains the productivity and species richness (all taxonomic groups) of the pre-European settlement forest over time.
