Cypress forest: Difference between revisions

A '''Cypress forest''' is a western [[USA]]United States plant association typically dominated by one or more [[cypress]] species. Example species comprising the canopy include ''[[Cupressus macrocarpa]]''. In some cases these forests have been severely damaged by goats, cattle and other grazing animals.<ref name="Rodriguez">M.A. Rodriguez-Malagon et al., "The Guadalupe Island Recovery Track"</ref> While cypress species are clearly dominant within a Cypress forest, other trees such as [[California Buckeye]], ''[[Aesculus californica]]'', are found in some Cypress forests.<ref>C.M. Hogan, 2008</ref>

The Guadalupe Island Cypress forestForest is situated on [[Guadalupe Island]], offshore from [[Baja California]]. This forest was greatly destroyed by the introduction of [[grazing]] [[goat]]s, but [[conservation biology]] efforts have been conducted to assist in restoring the forest.<ref name="Rodriguez">M.A. Rodriguez-Malagon et al., "The Guadalupe Island Recovery Track"</ref>
