Restoration of Ecosystem Health in Southwestern Forests (Mt. Trumbull Ecosystem Restoration Project)
2003. Restoration of Ecosystem Health in Southwestern Forests (Mt. Trumbull Ecosystem Restoration Project)
In 1995, the Bureau of Land Management, Arizona Strip District (BLM) and faculty from the Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University (NAU) initiated the Restoration of Ecosystem Health in Southwestern Forests project. The five-year Restoration of Ecosystem Health project proposed three primary goals: Systematic analysis of the changes in southwestern forests since disruption of the natural regime of frequent, low-intensity fires. Comparison of the effects of disturbances such as intense wildfire to see if modern disturbed ecosystems can return to health. Initiation of carefully planned and monitored ecological restoration treatments in cooperation with land management agencies.
