Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed look at the history and transformation of Piedmont Virginia forests, which currently provide the vast majority of the state's forest products. Historically, the region's forests were primarily used to support the tobacco industry, resulting in large-scale clearing and abandonment from the 18th century onward, with subsequent reforestation by second-growth pine. Today, only 28% of the region's population is urban, and the continued economic importance of timber in the Piedmont area is examined through the prism of shifting agricultural practices and the development of a diffuse industrial forest product sector.
