An interesting observation that I didn't think anyone notice except me. I've lived all my life (81 years) here in SW PA. and I agree but think it has been going on gradually for many years. Spent time in the woods every year studying flora and fauna and collecting evidence. It is incredible the degradation of the under story.
Of note I did not see a deer until age 16 and turkey even much later. There has been a direct correlation as these increased in abundance other living organism decreased. Like Ruffed Grouse, rare wildflowers etc. I see hillsides that become unstable and slide because of inadequate plant cover.
There is very little acreage under forest management here (98% privately held); this is not the Far West. Acid rain also plays a part in the changing landscape but mostly deer and to some extent naturally older hardwoods. Did you compare photos of the countryside from early 1900's with today? What a contrast!
