The article reports on the research conducted by Cara R. Nelson and colleagues on the impact of the thinning and burning of native plants to nonnative plants in the U.S. Research reveals that several historically fire-adapted forests are highly susceptible to damage from insects, pathogens and stand-replacing fires. To address the issue, forest managers employ treatments in reducing fuel loadings and to restore the structure, species and processes that characterized these forests before the widespread of fire suppression, logging and grazing. Studies show that multi-response permutation procedures revealed no significant effects on the thinning or burning on understory plant composition. |
