Do forests have natural life cycles, or will they go on indefinitely without interference?

Trees, yes. Forrests, maybe not how you are thinking. Theyare referred to as "stochastic". Trees fall, other species move in for a bit, old tree type returns. Fire wipes out a patch, grasses, followed by bushes reclaim, but the Trees come back. Over a long enough time scale, because of Tectonic motion, the Trees may end up at a latitude they are not well adapted to. The forests that once grew on the land thar is now Antarctica certainly got well and truly screwed.
