Abstract
The herbaceous plant community, consisting of shrubs, grasses, sedges, and forbs is a vital part of ponderosa pine forest ecosystems. Restoration treatments have tended to focus directly on tree patterns and reintroduction of fire. Fore restoration to be successful, however, the natural diversity and productivity of the understory plant community must be regained, and invasive or exotic understory species must be removed or maintained at tolerable levels. This document offers preliminary recommendations for understory restoration based on monitoring and observation in the Uinkaret Mountains and other ponderosa pine restoration sites in northern Arizona.
