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...
