Temporal and spatial variability of historic fire frequency in the southern Willamette Valley foothills of Oregon

Creator:

Robbins, Danielle

Abstract:

A crossdated fire history was reconstructed for a 1562 km2 area in the southern Willamette foothills of Oregon, using fire scars and tree origin years from twelve sites. The purpose of this study was to determine fire frequency for each site and to quantify temporal and spatial variability of fire...

Four centuries of soil carbon and nitrogen change after severe fire in a Western Cascades forest landscape

Creator:

Giesen, Thomas William

Abstract:

Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...
