Young, Shrubby Forest A young, shrubby forest that was established through a timber harvest. This type of habitat has gone by many names over the past decades, including early-successional habitat, young forest, regenerating forest, shrubland, and more. No matter what name you know it by, this habitat has a few key features. First, the trees are young, small, and short. Second, the short vegetation is really dense and filled with herbaceous plants, shrubs, and saplings. This state of a forest dominated by young trees is fleeting. As the trees get older, the young forest transitions to another type of ecosystem state that looks and acts differently, and supports different plants and animals. Patches of young forests were historically created by weather events like tornados or windstorms, beaver activity, higher-intensity fires, land clearing by Indigenous peoples, and other types of forces. In more recent times, weather events, timber harvests, and the abandonment of agricultural fields have been responsible for creating this ephemeral ecosystem state. But there’s been a change in the past 50 years. Patches of young forest have been disappearing across Ohio and throughout the eastern United States. And as this habitat disappears, so too do the animals—like the prairie warbler—that rely on it. Patches of young forests have to be created by some kind of event. Every patch will eventually “age out,” and so for there to continually be enough available for animals to use, there have to continually be forces that create it. And in the past several decades, there haven’t been a lot of forces creating new patches. To help bolster the declining populations of animals that rely on and use young forests, land stewards across the eastern United States have been creating more patches of it. These patches can be created in a variety of ways. Grass lawns and farm fields can be “let go” and have trees colonize on their own. Old, shrubby fields can be regularly cut back every several years. Patches of trees in a forest over 30 years old can be cut and removed. Such efforts by land stewards—coupled with weather events and other forces—can all help bolster the amount of young forest available across the landscape. And to borrow a famous phrase, “if you build it, they will come.” Forest Service photo by Kyle Brooks
