The expansion of Ashe juniper has had a tremendous impact on the
ecosystem, causing a decrease in plant species diversity and an increase
in
soil erosion.


Nurse logs "fallen Trees" with soil contact would create new soil and reduce
soil erosion. Just a thought.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
