Its loss totally changed the nature of eastern forests here. Introduced species rarely fill the niche in quite the same way, and plenty of those cause their own problems.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-67093498471273322182014-04-09T21:55:41.666-04:002014-04-09T21:55:41.666-04:00I had no idea about the blight.
