Shrub control associated with reforestation in high-severity burn areas promotes understory diversity

2016

Description

Bohlman et al. conducted a study looking at the effects of post-fire reforestation on understory plant species richness and composition, as well as stand structure. Three different aged fires were selected to assess the role of time since fire on the different stand components.
