Recovering lost ground: Effects of soil burn intensity on nutrients and ectomycorrhiza communities of ponderosa pine seedlings

Creator:: Cowan, Ariel D., Smith, Jane E., and Fitzgerald, Stephen A.
Abstract:: Fuel accumulation and climate shifts are predicted to increase the frequency of high-severity fires in pon-derosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of central Oregon. The combustion of fuels containing large downedwood can result in intense soil heating, alteration of soil properties, and mortality of microbes. Previousstudies show ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) improve...

Evaluation of the effects of silvicultural and fuels treatments on potential fire behaviour in Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forests

Creator:: Stephens, Scott Lewis
Abstract:: Fire suppression has increased fuel loads and fuel continuity in mixed-conifer ecosystems, resulting in forest structures that are vulnerable to catastrophic fire. This paper models fire behaviour in a mixed-conifer forest and investigates how silvicultural and fuels treatments affect potential fire behaviour. The computer program FARSITE was used to spatially...

Tamm Review: Management of mixed-severity fire regime forests in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California

Creator:: Hessburg, Paul F., Spies, Thomas A., Perry, David A., Skinner, Carl N., Taylor, Alan H., Brown, Peter M., Stephens, Scott L., Larson, Andrew J., Churchill, Derek J., Povak, Nicholas A., Singleton, Peter H., McComb, Brenda, Zielinski, William J., Collins, Brandon M., Salter, R. Brion, Keane, John J., Franklin, Jerry F., and Riegel, Greg
Abstract:: Increasingly, objectives for forests with moderate- or mixed-severity fire regimes are to restore successionally diverse landscapes that are resistant and resilient to current and future stressors. Maintaining native species and characteristic processes requires this successional diversity, but methods to achieve it are poorly explained in the literature. In the Inland...

Tree mortality based fire severity classification for forest inventories: A Pacific Northwest national forests example

Creator:: Whittier, Thomas R. and Gray, Andrew N.
Abstract:: Determining how the frequency, severity, and extent of forest fires are changing in response to changes in management and climate is a key concern in many regions where fire is an important natural disturbance. In the USA the only national-scale fire severity classification uses satellite image change-detection to produce maps...

Initial response of a mixed-conifer understory plant commnity to burning and thinning restoration treatments

Creator:: Wayman, Rebecca Bewley and North, Malcolm
Abstract:: Mechanical thinning and prescribed fire are widely used to restore western forests after a century of fire suppression, yet we know little about how these treatments affect understory communities where plant diversity is highest. We followed understory plants and environmental factors in old-growth, Sierran mixed conifer for two pre-treatment and...

Understory plant biomass dynamics of prescribed burned Pinus palustris stands

Creator:: Gonzalez-Benecke, C. A., Samuelson, L. J., Stokes, T. A., Cropper, W. P., Jr., Martin, T. A., and Johnsen, K. H.
Abstract:: Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests are characterized by unusually high understory plant species diversity, but models describing understory ground cover biomass, and hence fuel load dynamics, are scarce for this fire-dependent ecosystem. Only coarse scale estimates, being restricted on accuracy and geographical extrapolation, are available. We analyzed the dynamics...

Analyzing the transmission of wildfire exposure on a fire-prone landscape in Oregon, USA

Creator:: Ager, Alan A., Day, Michelle A., Finney, Mark A., Vance-Borland, Ken, and Vaillant, Nicole M.
Abstract:: We develop the idea of risk transmission from large wildfires and apply network analyses to understand its importance on a 0.75 million ha US national forest. Wildfires in the western US frequently burn over long distances (e.g., 20-50 km) through highly fragmented landscapes with respect to ownership, fuels, management intensity,...
