Ecologists, geographers, and historians have long debated the relative influence of climate and Indigenous land use in maintaining oak-dominated forests of the eastern U.S. This talk introduces this debate and its significance.

Full title: "Oak Forests as Indigenous Land Legacies: Native American Culture and the Sustainability of Eastern Oak Forests"

Some argue that Indigenous land use was negligible and that climatic changes largely explained the changing abundance of oak forests over millennia. Others argue that widespread cultural burning of forests maintained oak and other fire-adapted vegetation. The debate is highly relevant today as oak-dominated forests are failing to regenerate, with significant ecological and economic impacts: understanding drivers of oak forest dynamics can help us manage oak forests sustainably. This talk by of SUNY Geneseo introduces this debate and its significance, along with the materials and methods of assessing various factors shaping the geographic distribution of oak forests historically. Drawing examples from local studies of the 抖阴短视频 region, research suggests that present-day oak forests are perhaps the legacies of past Indigenous land management.
