Abstract

Photo 1. Arial photo taken in 1985 of the deforestation of mature lowland native Hawaiian wet forest in the Kalapana region of Hawaii Island. Piles of large trunks of Metrosideros polymorpha (Ohia) have been arranged to be pulverized in the large wood chipper at center, and were subsequently trucked to nearby sugar mill to be burned to produce energy. Photo credit: John “Jack” Lockwood. Photo 2. Second growth stands of Hawaii's dominant native tree, Metrosideros polymorpha (Ohia), that reestablished in the ~30 years since the 1985 deforestation event in the Kalapana region of Hawaii Island. Photo credit: R. Flint Hughes. These photographs illustrate the article “Aboveground carbon accumulation by second-growth forests after deforestation in Hawaii” by R. Flint Hughes, Dennis Grossman, Travis G. Sowards, Jonathan D. Marshall, and Dieter Mueller-Dombois published in Ecological Applications. https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.2539
