There is no concise definition of early successional habitats. However, all have a well developed ground cover or shrub and young tree component, lack a closed, mature tree canopy, and are created or maintained by intense or recurring disturbances. Most ecologists and environmentalists agree that disturbances and early successional habitats are important to maintain the diverse flora and fauna native to deciduous eastern forests.

Young forest habitat reached a peak of up to 55-60% of the forest cover in most states in the late nineteenth century because of logging, wildfires, fuelwood cutting, and farm abandonment, but has since declined to 20% or less in many regions.
