Mechanism
If proper management is not planned and implemented, the site will continue to degrade and shift toward a Shrubland State. By implementing conservation measures such as prescribed grazing, chemical/mechanical brush management, and prescribed burning where sufficient fine fuel can be accumulated, the land manager can reverse the retrogression and shift the trend back toward the reference plant community.
Mechanism
With prescribed grazing, brush management, IPT, and prescribed burning, the Shrubland State can be transitioned to a Reclamation State.
