  • The effects of forest fuel reduction on fire severity and long-term carbon storage

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Stephen Richard
    Abstract:
    Two forest management objectives being debated in the context of federally managed landscapes in the US Pacific Northwest involve a perceived trade-off between fire restoration and C sequestration. The former strategy would reduce fuel (and therefore C) that has accumulated through a century of fire suppression and exclusion that has...

  • Tree Vigor Response and Competitive Zone Density in Mature Ponderosa Pine

    Creator:
    Shaw, Randi C.
    Abstract:
    This study explored the relationship of mature ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws) tree vigor and competitive zone density following thinning and fuel reduction treatments. Competitive zone density (CZD) was defined as the total tree basal area (m²/ha) surrounding a given ponderosa pine tree within a 10m fixed radius...
