Excerpt from Hardwood Timber Resources in Central and Northern GeorgiaA belt of gently rolling hills, known as the Piedmont plateau, separates the rugged Appalachian mountain range from the low, level plain along the Atlantic and Gulf coast (fig. The rolling nature of the land, along with heavy rainfall and a long winter period during which the land is left without the protection of growing vegetation, makes the soils especially susceptible to erosion and loss of fertility. Since settlement began, it has been a com mon practice to crop a field for several years until yields began to drop, abandon it, and clear new land. A large share of the land in this region has gone through at least one cycle of clearing, abandonment, and reversion to forests. There probably is very little land outside of the swales and swampy river bottoms which at some time or another in the past has not been cropped.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
