Description
This is an approximation of the reference state based on the best available information. It has not been validated in the field.
Submodel
Description
The type and extent of effort needed to push this state back to the reference condition varies widely and is dependent on local factors. It could be as simple as allowing natural succession to happen or could require intensive intervention from removing drainage structures to controlling invasive plant species.
Submodel
Mechanism
Invasive plant control if needed, natural succession, tree planting if desired, restoration of natural hydrologic processes, if possible
