Fire history in three vegetation types on the eastern side of the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Bork, Joyce L.
Abstract:: Historic fire return intervals in three different vegetation types dominated by ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) were determined using fire scarred trees. Dendrochronological techniques were used to achieve accuracy in dating fire scars on samples collected from six 40 acre plots established in each site. Mean fire return intervals (MFRI)...

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...

Fire history and pattern in a Cascade Range landscape

Creator:: Morrison, Peter H. and Swanson, Frederick J.
Abstract:: Fire history from years 1150 to 1985 was reconstructed by analyzing forest stands in two 1940-hectare areas in the central-western Cascade Range of Oregon. Serving as records for major fire episodes, these stands revealed a highly variable fire regime. The steeper, more dissected, lower elevation Cook-Quentin study area experienced more...

The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

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...

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...

Priority evaluation of fire hazard in the Douglas Forest Protective Association district in Oregon

Creator:: Mohr, Francis R.
Abstract:: This study analyzes past forest fire behavior on a selected area in the Oregon Cascades in an attempt to evaluate level of fire hazard on selected vegetational areas. Vegetational areas were defined in five broad classes: Merchantable Douglas-fir Stands, Non-merchantable Douglas-fir Stands, Oak- Madrone Stands, Non- forest Lands, and Non-stocked...
