Restoration Of Ecosystem Health In Southwest Forests Project Overview
Waltz A, Fule P, Verkamp G. 2000. Restoration Of Ecosystem Health In Southwest Forests Project Overview
The Restoration of Ecosystem Health in Southwest Forests project was initiated in 1995 to develop the scientific basis for ecological restoration of southwestern ponderosa pine forests. Fire exclusion, grazing and logging over the past 120+ years have caused contemporary southwestern forests to become dense with small trees and heavy fuels, at the expense of the diverse native plant community.
