To evaluate restoration effectiveness at a landscape scale, we monitored changes in forest structure and tree growth across a 5,224-acre ponderosa pine–Gambel oak forest.
21 years after treatment, total tree density had declined by 56%, and structural heterogeneity had increased

Crews are measuring different parameters, like diameter at breast height (DBH), tree diversity, canopy cover, and other data points that we can compare with data collected over twenty years ago! By contrasting these same plots, we can better understand changes happening through the decades.
