ABSTRACT

This article presents a reading of Hemlock: A Forest Giant on the Edge, a 2014 collection of essays authored by Harvard Forest ecologists that addresses the ongoing destruction of the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). Introduced to the eastern U.S. in the early 1950s, the hemlock woolly adelgid has been slowly but surely decimating the eastern hemlock across most of its native range. Hemlock offers an account of the species’ history of decline and recovery as well as of the Harvard Forest researchers’ relationship with this foundational species. Locating within Hemlock a rhetoric of sentiment and science, this essay considers the authors’ embrace of ecological grief and then demonstrates how they deploy historical and long-term ecological research to channel that grief into some actions rather than others. Thus, this essay unearths how sentiment and science merge and diverge in discourses concerning ecological loss and transformation.

从生态悲伤到 Gelassenheit:铁杉的情感和科学修辞

摘要

本文介绍了《铁杉:边缘的森林巨人》,这是 2014 年由哈佛森林生态学家撰写的论文集,论述了东部铁杉 ( Tsuga canadensis )的持续破坏。1950 年代初被引入美国东部,铁杉羊毛 adelgid 一直在缓慢但肯定地在其大部分原生范围内消灭东部铁杉。铁杉提供了该物种衰退和恢复的历史,以及哈佛森林研究人员与这一基础物种的关系。位于Hemlock作为情感和科学的修辞,这篇文章考虑了作者对生态悲伤的拥抱,然后展示了他们如何利用历史和长期生态研究将这种悲伤转化为某些行动而不是其他行动。因此,本文揭示了情感和科学如何在有关生态损失和转型的话语中融合和发散。
