  • General Forest Habitat Association
    07/15/2003 Viability Assessment Report For General Forest Habitat Association Prepared by Timothy O. Reed Daniel Boone National Forest I. Description of Habitat Association The General Forest Habitat Association encompasses a wide range of forest conditions and can potentially include any soil, forest type, or land type association (LTA) which occurs on the Daniel Boone National Forest (DBNF) (see USDA Forest Service, 1997a). Forested terrain ranges from hilly to rugged in the Cumberland Plateau, which encompasses most of the DBNF and is intersected by cliffs in the higher elevations and by drainages of the Cumberland, Kentucky and Licking Rivers at lower elevations. Steepest terrain occurs in the Cumberland Mountains, which border the southeastern section of the DBNF. This habitat association includes both hardwood and pine trees, as well as stands that are a mixture of both, along with their associated plant and animal species. Hardwood predominates on all districts, with pine more abundant on the southern half of the DBNF (the London, Somerset, and Stearns Districts). Because this is a broad and encompassing habitat association, general forest might best be described as the typical forest scene that comes to mind when one thinks about being out in woods within the DBNF. Many events may have shaped this forest scene including disturbance from storm events, natural tree mortality, wildfires, insect and disease mortality and natural succession. Management activities have also impacted this scene through timber harvest, prescribed burning, timber stand improvement treatments, trails and recreation developments, mineral extraction, and wildlife habitat improvement activities. This is an association in which species are found that utilize a wide range of general forested conditions.

  • Cumberland Plateau Geological History
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area Oneida, Tennessee Geology and History of the Cumberland Plateau Geological History Rising over 1000 feet above the region around it, the Cumberland Plateau is a large, flat-topped tableland. Deceptively rugged, the Plateau has often acted as a barrier to man and nature’s attempts to overcome it. The Plateau is characterized by rugged terrain, a moderate climate, and abundant rainfall. Although the soils are typically thin and infertile, the area was once covered by a dense hardwood forest equal to that of the Appalachians less than sixty miles to the east. As a landform, this great plateau reaches from north-central Alabama through Tennessee and Kentucky and Pennsylvania to the western New York border. Geographers call this landform the Appalachian Plateau, although it is known by various names as it passes through the differ­ ent regions. In Tennessee and Kentucky, it is called the Cumberland Plateau. Within this region, the Cumberland River and its tributaries are formed. A view from any over- look quickly confirms that the area is indeed a plateau. The adjoining ridges are all the same height, presenting a flat horizon. The River Systems The Clear Fork River and the New River come together to form the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, the third largest tributary to the Cumberland. The Big South Fork watershed drains an area of 1382 square Leatherwood Ford in the evening sun miles primarily in Scott, Fentress, and Morgan counties in Tennessee and Wayne and Overlooks McCreary counties in Kentucky.
