Description
Summary:	Natural regeneration is sometimes sufficient for forests and other plant communities to recover after a disturbance. In the case of severe disturbances, however, this is unlikely to be true. Natural regeneration may occur in such cases but the rate is likely to be very slow. Hence, some form of intervention is needed. This note is aimed at highlighting some of the factors that might be needed in the initial stages of restoring forests to lands degraded by the Wenchuan earthquake.
