00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.160
In these images, the vegetation, the healthy vegeation,

2
00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:07.570
is dark green. That's the sign of tall, healthy forest.

3
00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:09.820
And what you can see, right after the fire,

4
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:11.670
is the very obvious fire scar.

5
00:00:11.690 --> 00:00:13.970
It's the dark reddish-brown color.

6
00:00:13.990 --> 00:00:15.880
And then as you chart through time,

7
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:16.530
what you're going to see

8
00:00:16.550 --> 00:00:20.620
is the recovery on the old fire scar

9
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.430
as first grasses, and then shrubs,

10
00:00:23.450 --> 00:00:26.980
and then finally some saplings and short trees come up.

11
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.370
But what's also interesting is that years after the fire,

12
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:34.880
we still don't see it back to its full potential.
