We compared (in three different forest habitats) initial vegetation establishment and long-term succession along bulldozer lines, in adjacent burn areas, and in adjacent undisturbed forests. In addition, we documented the establishment of exotic species. The first three years of data provided resource managers with preliminary information on early succession and the presence of exotic species within the bulldozer lines and the burned area.
