A team of scientists at The University of New Mexico is experimenting and learning about reforestation and the challenges presented by several environmental factors in the semi-arid southwestern United States where planted conifer seedling survival is typically low after a wildfire. The research examined how post-fire planting success is influenced by climate, topographic, biotic, and microclimate factors.
