An additional mechanical treatment, tree mastication (using a Bull Hog™), was applied at the woodland sites in Utah only. This treatment was implemented because it has been of local interest to Utah landowners. The images below show one of the masticated subplots at the Onaqui site from 2006 to 2009. Mastication took place at Onaqui in the fall of 2006 after baseline data were collected. Throughout the plot, 100% of trees were removed by mulching them to the ground.
