How many forests that existed in North America in 1492, no longer exist today?

Here's a map showing forests in 1620 and here's one showing where trees are today though bear in mind that a) 1620 isn't 1492 b) I don't know how accurate that 1620 map is and c) many of the modern forests are not the same ones as before...old growth forests have been logged and later replaced by newer stands, often containing a different species mix.
