Ecological restoration of southwestern ponderosa pine ecosystems: a broad perspective

2002-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this paper is to promote a broad and flexible perspective on ecological restoration of Southwestern (U.S.) ponderosa pine forests. Ponderosa pine forests in the region have been radically altered by Euro‐American land uses, including livestock grazing, fire suppression, and logging. Dense thickets of young trees now abound, old‐growth and biodiversity have declined, and human and ecological communit...
