      Extraordinary biodiversity results from “rewilding” an economically-marginal English farm. Only recently understood: the key role of large herbivores in creating savannah (rather than continuous forest). ♻️@stewartbrand,@PatchouliW http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5640191/How-letting-Mother-Nature-reclaim-prime-farmland-produced-breathtaking-results.html …

      New England, in living memory, has gone from mainly farm fields to one gigantic dense forest. Is that natural? What were New England’s dominant herbivores? Would reintroducing them, or analogs, create savannah? Might that be economically advantageous, as well as ecologically?

          There's a large hunting club in mid-NH with its own re-introduced population of elk and boar, and they still seem to be mostly forested: http://outsideinradio.org/shows/ep27  . It's a little hard to say given that they're maintaining the area and also feeding the animals over the winter.

          Quick look at wikipedia suggests elk and boars are largely woodland species, and not grazers. Bison might be the answer.

          buffalo. But they don’t fit neatly into the current mechanistic production model of using animals for only one purpose.

          I thought buffalo might be the answer! And, yes to your second sentence.

          possibly of interest https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2011/10/guarding-the-forests-2/ … I recall reading (but can't locate) some discussion of the pre-colonial ecology being essentially a human influenced "semi domesticated" old growth forest. indigenous peoples having shaped an arboreal ecology over thousands of years.

          don't have data to hand but from living here, I'd caution that "one giant dense forest" may not be as true as it might seem - the logging industry has a habit of understating how quickly it's been using up the resources
