Observation Narrative
Open shrubby south facing slope with drier species composition; a few PSEMEN regenerating at sapling stage; fire looked as if it burned hot here, removing soil mantle, may take decades to see if PSEMEN will really regenerate here; despite the lower slope
Several tent caterpillar nests observed on AMEALN; 1 stump observed. Fire may have burned very hot here to remove soil mantle preventing tree regeneration.
