Summary

Description
Deutsch: Drei Bilder desselben Gelbkiefernwaldes (Pinus ponderosa) im Bitterroot Nationalforst in Montana aus den Jahren 1909, 1948 und 1989. Die Zunahme der Vegetationsdichte ist auf die Bemühungen zu Brandschutz und Brandvermeidung seit 1895 zurückzuführen.
English: Forest development in a Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) stand in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana. Photographs from 1909, 1948 and 1989, the increase in vegetation density was attributed to fire prevention efforts since 1895.

Forest development on the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana in a ponderosa pine stand after harvest (1909) in which fire was excluded since 1895. Note the changes in vertical arrangement and horizontal continuity in forest stand structure. In general many of today’s ponderosa pine forests contain higher densities of fire-intolerant species and suppressed trees than historical forests.
