Special paper - Forest vegetation of the Kentucky Karst Plain (Kentucky and Tennessee): Review and synthesis
Baskin Jm, Chester Ew, Baskin Cc,
Abstract:
Literature on old-growth and second-growth forest vegetation of the Kentucky Karst Plain of Kentucky and Tennessee is reviewed, and this and other information is synthesized into a conceptual model that shows the various types of climax 'associations' along a topographic-moisture gradient. Further, the model shows the relationship of the forest vegetation to (deep-soil) barrens and xeric limestone prairies, and to the agricultural activities of the anthropogenically-dominated landscape of this physiographic region
