Heavy overgrazing or a hurricane can cause the transition to State 2. The Forb Dominant Community (1.3) is at risk to transition if the site is not allowed to revegetate.
Revegetation of the natural plant system is necessary to restore the Wet Grassland State (1). Revegetating can be difficult because it requires sprigging as seed sources are usually not viable. Time and restriction from further disturbance is generally the most feasible option.
