Live trees per hectare (a, c) and basal area (cross-sectional area of a tree, in square meters) per hectare (b, d) over time in Mariposa grove (a, b) and the Wawona area (c, d), where decades of fuels and fire management (primarily prescribed fire) have occurred. Larger trees contribute more basal area, thus the Wawona area highlights the focus on removal of small-diameter trees. Data are from long-term monitoring plots as part of the Yosemite fire effects monitoring program
