Coarse woody detritus dynamics, variable decay rates and their contribution to wildland fuel succession following high-severity fire disturbance in dry-mixed conifer forests of Oregon's eastern Cascades

Creator:

Dunn, Christopher J.

Abstract:

Reducing future fire severity is a proposed ecological benefit of salvage logging following wildfire disturbance. Considerable debate continues over the ability of such management practices to achieve this objective given limited understanding of coarse woody detritus (CWD) dynamics, fuel bed alterations, and post-fire vegetative growth. The objective of this study...

A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial
Mixed-Severity Fire Effects on Biological Legacies and Vegetation Response in Pseudotsuga Forests of Western Oregon's Central Cascades, USA

Creator:

Dunn, Christopher J.

Abstract:

Mixed-severity fire occurrence is increasingly recognized in Pseudotsuga forests of the Pacific Northwest, but questions remain about how tree mortality varies, and forest structure is altered, across the disturbance gradient observed in these fires. Therefore, we sampled live and dead biological legacies at 45 one ha plots, with four 0.10...
