Abstract:

The Old-Growth Forest in Three Sisters Swamp lives up to its name, through trees such as a Bald Cypress named Methuselah and two others possibly two millennia old. It is from these trees, among the oldest in the United States, that researchers are hoping to find the secret to conserving trees in the Black River area.
