These Guayacan seeds are on to the next stage in their journey as building blocks for restoration. Moments like these often are unseen in the background of a long rewarding restoration process, but are beautiful to highlight when observed. @AmericanForests

Key points:
Peak snow water equivalent in the burned area was 17%–25% lower than paired unburned areas.
Snowmelt rates were 82%–144% greater at the burned site compared to unburned sites and snow disappearance occurred 11–13 days earlier.
Late-season snow storms reset albedo...
