Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Second-growth forests are forests that establish themselves after old-growth timber has been removed. They are not necessarily of second-rate value and their abundance on Earth compared to 500 years ago or their location in North America is not relevant to defining them as second-growth forests. Protection from logging in National Parks is also not a defining characteristic of second-growth forests.
