trees apparently required catastrophic 
disturbance of the previous vegetation 
by hurricane. Beech also displays a 
most intriguing pattern of establish- 
ment. No seedlings appeared until 
1810, when the oldest white pines were 
1 55 years old. Thereafter, a successful 
beech seedling appeared roughly every 
ten years, arriving, not as a result of 
major storms, but through some con- 
junction of unknown events. Thus, 
what spells destruction for one species 
leads to the accession of another; dis- 
turbance lies in the eye of the be- 
holder. 
Disturbance may also take the form 
of biological forces, such as disease, 
which can be especially disastrous to 
plant communities because their ef- 
fects can multiply in time, and grazers. 
Heinselman noted that mature stands 
of balsam fir are particularly suscep- 
tible to outbreaks of spruce budworm, 
which devastate many acres and cre- 
ate fuel for fire. On the prairies, the 
annual migration of buffaloes un- 
doubtedly had an immense impact on 
the vegetation. Some herds numbered 
four million, and their passage must 
have left a swath of deeply cut sod, 
with local patches of packed grass and 
manure in the vicinity of large con- 
gregations. 
The scale of disturbance need not 
be vast and catastrophic. William 
Platt, a plant ecologist working in vir- 
gin prairie in Iowa, identified a com- 
munity of plants that grow on mounds 
of soil created by badgers digging for 
ground squirrels. These herbaceous 
perennials— showy goldenrod, false 
boneset, common milkweed, and lobed 
cudweed — flourish on badger diggings 
but are relatively rare in the surround- 
ing prairie. They appear well adapted 
to this transient habitat: all grow rap- 
idly and produce early and abundant 
seed capable of colonizing other local 
disturbances. Thus, even the modest 
scratchings of a mouse may provide 
sufficient space in a sward of white 
clover for a ragweed seedling to escape 
from the shade of established vege- 
tation. 
Once we shift our perception of dis- 
turbance from the scale of the plant 
community to the death of the in- 
dividual plant, disturbance is ubiqui- 
tous in all natural communities. A dev- 
astating hurricane lethal to hemlocks 
leaves young maples untouched and 
lays a seedbed for black birch. A local 
rabbit warren brings a palatable grass 
to the brink of extinction, but the ad- 
jacent brier patch thrives. Disturbance
