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...

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,...

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...

Creator:: Halofsky, Jessica E.
Abstract:: Fire is the dominant disturbance process in western U.S. forests, and although effects of fire in upland forests are relatively well-studied, there is little information about fire effects on riparian forests, critical areas of the landscape for both habitat and water quality. This dissertation examines different aspects of fire effects...
