It's not only fun having things fall apart, but how it takes like 1/2 a year to heal.
That's the theory.Whoa, wait a minute! Stuff heals?
So there's like no trees in north DakotaPercent of land covered in trees. Iowa is 46th. I question Nevada at 16% with amount of desert they have.

Agree with @wxman1 . I'd love to see a version with ~1700 status versus today.Percent of land covered in trees. Iowa is 46th. I question Nevada at 16% with amount of desert they have.

I wonder how much of that it urban trees. I have my contribution of trees on my 1/4 acre. Not counting the neighbors big oak and honey locust that hang over my lot. You can still see my roof in satellite map view. Think I should do a tree inventory.

It wouldn't change much. Remember, Iowa was underwater for a good period of time. Looking back to early 1800s, before Iowa was a state or settled much, we were just shy of 19%. That would move us from 46 to 43 today, not then but if we had that amount today.I would like to see the historical values of this.
Yes, remember that Iowa was a prairie state, not a woodland state. Maybe the highest percentage of prairie of any state in the union. I don't know if it is strictly the case, but I differentiate tall grass prairie from the short grass Great Plains.It wouldn't change much. Remember, Iowa was underwater for a good period of time.

In other words, Iowa has forever lost about 60% of our native timber, which didn't amount to much to begin with. About half that loss was from 1850-1900, the rest since.It wouldn't change much.
