With the foregoing quote in mind, I will proceed. It seems clear after examining what has been presented here and in many other places in the published literature that understanding Juniperus savanna and woodland biomes is a difficult task. Managing these is even more difficult. Because many of these Juniperus savannas and woodlands were probably grasslands at some time in the past, we should add grasslands to the mix of what is required to understand Juniperus communities. Thus, the task is complicated, but it is even more difficult when we add time as a factor that further complicates the equation.
