Spatial and temporal patterns of fire in the forests of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Impara, Peter C.

Abstract:

Fire history and fire regime were interpreted from tree ring analysis of 4320 stumps at 178 sites in a 25 by 55 km area in the central Oregon Coast Range. A total of 27 fire episodes were identified in a 516 year period, with sizes estimated at 18 to 544...

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...
