nostr:npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 I always enjoy Cory's writing, but I don't think the way he's written about black spruce is entirely accurate.

I'm a restoration ecologist with no first hand experience in this particular ecosystem, but here's a bit of what I've read matched with experience in other forest restoration projects.

"Black spruce dominates most spruce-fir ecosystems of boreal North America."

Basically, it's exactly what you should be planting in these areas after logging.
