The Semi-natural State would expect plant communities where ecological processes are primarily operating with some land conditioning in the past or present, e.g., managed forests, or plant communities that are an artifact of land management e.g., predominately invasive plants.
Submodel
Mechanism
Restoration and management, forest stand improvement, early successional habitat development, upland wildlife management, invasive species control, plant establishment
