However, Borns and Goldthwait (1966) suggested, on the basis of ages of living trees on the outermost moraine and estimates of
ecesis, that ice retreat and moraine stabilization did not occur until the early or middle 19th century.
The tree ages need to be adjusted to account for the time between moraine stabilization and seedling germination ("
ecesis"; McCarthy and Luckman, 1993; Winchester and Harrison, 2000).
