Examples of reversing change. A The distribution of coarse woody debris around planted ponderosa pine seedlings following the 2002 Hayman Fire in Colorado is credited with helping to mitigate drought effects on the developing seedlings (credit: Paula Fornwalt). B Forest Service staff inventory stand conditions in a former Jeffrey pine-black oak forest on Laguna Mountain, Cleveland National Forest, eastern San Diego County, California (B). This site was impacted by multiyear drought, then severe wildfire, then drought again, Jeffrey pine beetle mortality, and most recently by an oak borer outbreak (credit: Hugh Safford)
