From the text...'The unrestrained natural fire I would argue Yellowstone shoukd have then is needed or at least three reasons: 1. Turn back tree invasion of meadows and the sagebrush-grassland 2. Develop some of the regenerative stands of the even-aged lodgepole which Wellner cites as being more typical for the species. 3. Allow lodgepole pine to naturally continue establishing its representatiion by replacing the few trees that give it challenge--Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir and, at the lower elevations, Douglas-fir.'
