Spatial analyses explored impacts on structural complexity and fire post-restoration. Cuttings left aggregated clumpy patterns with many small and few large tree patches. Vertical complexity changes were varied across, a result of mixed recommendations. Treatments reduced wildfire behavior particularly in cases of extreme fire behavior. Goals of creating complex forest structure and reducing behavior were non-competing.
