Adjust figures for fallen trees

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reset

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'adjust figures' is the definition.
'reset' can be an answer for 'adjust' (resetting is a kind of adjusting). I am unsure of the 'figures' bit.

'fallen trees' is the wordplay.
'fallen' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trees' with letters rearranged gives 'RESET'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reset that I've seen before include "adjusted" , "Adjust (eg clock, tuning)" , "Put together again" , "Restore to the initial readings" , "Trees (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
