Table 3 Linear mixed models predicting tree and seedling density as a function of fuel treatment (prescribed fire, mechanical, or untreated control), woodland phase, and year (years 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 post-treatment) from ten replicate sites across the Intermountain West, USA

From: Fuel treatments in shrublands experiencing pinyon and juniper expansion result in trade-offs between desired vegetation and increased fire behavior
