Forest vegetation and fuel dynamics following stand-replacing wildfire, re-burn, and postfire management in the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon

Creator:

Donato, Daniel C.

Abstract:

Following high-severity fire, forest succession may take alternate pathways depending on the pattern of the fire and any secondary disturbances during early stand development, with lasting consequences for ecosystem function. The objectives of this research were to quantify: (1) early postfire regeneration as influenced by the spatial pattern of a...

Dead fuels and understory vegetation six years after a large mixed-severity wildfire in southwest Oregon

Creator:

Nathanson, Amy

Abstract:

Though the mixed-evergreen forests of the Klamath Siskiyous have a long history of large, mixed-severity fires, most research in this region has concentrated on the impacts of high-severity fire. Knowledge of the ecological effects of low- and moderate-severity areas within mixed-severity fires is important because such areas may account for...

Fire severity and vegetation response to fire in riparian areas of the Biscuit and B&B Complex Fires, Oregon

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...
