Reference State

Description

The reference state is representative of the natural range of variability under pristine conditions. It is dominated by Rocky Mountain ponderosa pine with possible traces of Utah juniper and singleleaf pinyon pine in the canopy. Primary natural disturbance mechanisms affecting this ecological site are wildfire, disease, insect attack and periodic drought. Timing of fire combined with weather events determine the community dynamics. Increased mortality following drought is likely, caused by a combination of insect attack and disease.
