Diverse responses across soil parent materials during ecological restoration

A major challenge to advancing the science and practice of ecological restoration is working across large landscapes containing diverse sites that may respond differently to restoration. We conducted a 5‐year restoration experiment, replicated across 9 sites spanning 3 soil parent material types within a 9,000‐ha Pinus ponderosa forest landscape. We evaluated plant community response to restoration Pinus thinning, grazing, and aqueous smoke...
