Fire history, fire regimes, and development of forest structure in the central western Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Weisberg, Peter J.

Abstract:

Fire history and fire regimes were reconstructed for a 450 km² area in the central western Oregon Cascades, using tree-ring analysis of fire scars and tree origin years at 137 sampled clearcuts. I described temporal patterns of fire frequency, severity, and size, and interpreted topographic influences on fire frequency and...

The effect of fire regime on coarse woody debris in the west central Cascades, Oregon

Creator:

Wright, Pamela J.

Abstract:

This study examined the effect of fire regime on coarse woody debris (CWD) mass using a combination of field data and modeling. The objectives were to use field sampling to determine how CWD differs between two areas that have had different fire regimes, and investigate how fire frequency and severity,...

Effects of wildfire burn severity on soil microbial communitiesand invasive plant species in the Cascade Range of Oregon

Creator:

Hebel, Cassie L.

Abstract:

Fire suppression in the last several decades has resulted in unprecedented accumulations of organic matter on the landscape, leading to an increase in large, intense wildfires. This study investigated the soil microbial community (using phospholipid fatty acid analysis) across recently burned forests on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range...
