Ed Gardiner argues that from 1954 to 1974 Iowa cleared about 1 million acres of timberland, 40 percent of its 1954 level, and warns that loss of cover increases erosion. He notes trees regulate water, provide wildlife habitat, supply wood and sound protection, and laments the removal of windbreaks and timbered land for short-term gain.
