  • What differences do you see between the two fire treatments?

  • What plants are dominant in the annual burn? in the 20-year burn?

  • What will happen to the shrubs and trees in the 20-year burn once it becomes part of the annual burn plan?

  • After the reversal of the burn treatments, how long before woody plants will be visible in the annually burned areas?

  • Will the diversity of plant species change after the burn reversal in either of these areas?

  • What other questions can researchers answer by reversing the burn schedule?

REMEMBER, EVEN THE RESEARCHERS DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS YET
