Examples of observing change. A Light wind mobilizes ash and dried soil in a high-severity burn patch of the 2011 Las Conchas Fire, where it reburned an earlier high-severity patch. This photo was taken on April 26, 2012, nearly 1 year after the fire when only some herbaceous plants were growing (credit: Chris Guiterman). B Former Engelmann spruce-dominated forest impacted by spruce beetle and fire within the 2013 West Fork Complex Burn, Colorado. Matchstick-like snags are indicative that the trees were killed by beetles prior to the fire (credit: Jonathan Coop)
