Mixed-conifer forests of central Oregon : structure, composition, history of establishment, and growth

Creator:

Merschel, Andrew G.

Abstract:

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 the resiliency of this ecosystem to fire, drought, and insects. The historical and current composition and structure of...
