Sparse Recovery

Caption

This photo shows very sparse post-fire tree regeneration following the Beaver Creek Fire (near Yellowstone National Park in 2000), which was followed by three years of severe drought. This photo was taken far from the edge of a stand-replacing burn patch -- away from surviving seed sources.
