Allen and Booth (Forest Restoration Theories)

Allen and Booth proposed theories on how forests naturally recover after disturbances like logging or fires. They suggest that forest regeneration follows specific patterns based on seed dispersal, soil conditions, and resource availability. These theories highlight the importance of natural processes—such as seed spread by wind or animals—in restoring forest structure and diversity over time. Their ideas help guide sustainable forest management by emphasizing the role of natural regeneration pathways, ensuring forests can recover effectively to support biodiversity, ecological health, and resilience.
