Dead fuels and understory vegetation six years after a large mixed-severity wildfire in southwest Oregon

Nathanson, Amy (2011-06-08)

Though the mixed-evergreen forests of the Klamath Siskiyous have a long history of large, mixed-severity fires, most research in this region has concentrated on the impacts of high-severity fire. Knowledge of the ecologi ...
An individual-based process model to simulate landscape-scale forest ecosystem dynamics

Seidl, Rupert; Rammer, Werner; Scheller, Robert M.; Spies, Thomas A. (Elsevier, 2012-04-24)

Forest ecosystem dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic agents (i.e., individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally heterogeneous abiotic environment. Understandin ...
Mixed-conifer forests of central Oregon : structure, composition, history of establishment, and growth

Merschel, Andrew G. (2012-12-14)

The structure and composition of mixed-conifer forest (MCF) in central Oregon has been altered by fire exclusion and logging. The resulting increased density, spatial contagion, and loss of fire resistant trees decrease ...
Patterns of crown damage within a large wildfire in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion

Thompson, Jonathan R. (2008-07-21)

The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed conifer/ evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. The remarkable size of the fire and the diversity of conditions ...
