About this forest:
About this forest:
- The sole focus of this forest is the growth of a single massively important tree.
- Similar to forests with Several Giant Trees except this forest has a higher risk if disturbed.
- To maximize growth of the singular tree, this forest often requires some active maintenance to retard growth of new trees that would compete for resources.

Pop examples of singular robustness:
- Yo Yo Ma as a child/young adult cello prodigy
- Google as a company focused on internet search in late the 2000's (it has since focused on diversification)

A revolutionary trajectory can be achieved by slowly establishing new trees that are uniquely adapted to occupy diverse niches, minimize competition with important existing trees, and create a robust Old Growth forest.
Disturbance
Disturbance
- The large trees in this less-competitive forest type are highly resistant to disturbance - however, disturbance is always possible.
- Attempts to establish new trees may also lead to disturbance.
- If the disturbance is large or recurring, it can seriously damage the singular tree and lead to a suppressed forest
