Nestled
in Oregon's Willamette Valley and surrounded by snowcapped mountain ranges, a patchwork of agricultural
farmlands and rolling Pinot Noir vineyards, LEED Gold - certified Allison Inn & Spa is an
out - of - this - world wine
country escape.
When Lipponen and her colleagues set
out to understand why that was, they found that a resurgence
in forest cover typically happens as a
country becomes more prosperous and its people transition to more efficient forms of agriculture on better
farmland.
