Abstract

We study the scaling limit of a random forest with prescribed degree sequence in the regime that the largest tree consists of all but a vanishing fraction of nodes. We give a description of the limit of the forest consisting of the small trees, by relating a plane forest to a marked cyclic forest and its corresponding skip-free walk.
