Global Importance of Imperiled Old-growth Forests With an Emphasis on the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains

This was a collaboration with Rob Messick, who, while not an academic officially, is a well respected naturalist and expert on the Blue Ridge mountains in and around North Carolina. Rob was gracious enough to share years and years of data, maps, and even old growth tree core records. We transformed it all into a big review about the blue ridge and other old growth regions in the United States, which often do not receive attention.
