Name: A 7600-year Vegetation and Fire History of Mt. Constitution, Orcas Island, Washington
Description: Pollen and charcoal from three small hollows were used to reconstruct 7600 years of vegetation and fire history on the Mt. Constitution plateau with a unique combination of temporal depth and spatial resolution. These records resolve stand-level...

Name: A Comparison of Historical Fire Occurrence in Riparian and Upslope Forests in the Blue Mountains and Southern Cascades of Oregon
Description: The fire history study reconstructed the historical occurrence of fire within riparian forests in three different national forests in Oregon. Two study areas were located in mostly dry, low-severity fire regime forests in the Blue Mountains, and the...

Name: Alaska NPS Fire Effects Paired Plots Study
Description: The fire effects paired plot project began in 1982 under the direction of Gary Ahlstrand - NPS Alaska Regional Research Ecologist. The purpose of the project was to assess vegetation change and succession as a result of fire. Fire teams established...

Name: Anchor River Watershed Spruce Bark Beetle Project
Description: Tree cores were collected from white and Lutz spruce affected by spruce bark beetles. Sampling occurred during 2004-2005 in the Anchor River Watershed on the Kenai Peninsula.

Name: Central Oregon Fire History - Fire and Forest Histories of Central Oregon from Tree Rings
Description: Central Oregon currently lacks the site-specific fire and forest histories that are necessary for scientifically based land-management planning in the region. For a region with such extensive fire-adapted ecosystems, surprisingly few fire and forest...

Name: Changes in Fire Regimes and the Successional Status of Table Mountain Pine (Pinus pungens Lamb.) in the Southern Appalachians (2)
Description: Table Mountain pine is a tree species endemic to the southern Appalachians that is heavily dependent on repeated surface fires for successful regeneration. Since the implementation of fire suppression as a forest management tool in the early 1900s,...

Name: Chena Lakes F-Unit and Remote Arm Burn Severity and Forest Succession Projects
Description: Both of these Chena Lakes projects were designed to determine fuel treatment effectiveness, prescribed burn severity, and post-burn vegetative succession. Incident to the sampling, some tree cross-sections were collected in 2001 to determine...

Name: Climate, Fire and Forest Growth in Alaska
Description: A number of studies have been conducted to examine relationships between climate, fire and the growth and reproduction of dominant boreal tree species in Alaska.
Web Pages  
Name: Fire and Climate History of Lowland Black Spruce Forests, Kenai NWR
Description: In order to define the fire regime in Kenai NWR black spruce forests, a detailed fire and climate history study was undertaken. Utilizing techniques of dendrochronology I dated fire scars, and dated the outer-rings of fire-killed trees (burn poles)...

Name: Fire and Climatic Variability in the Inland Pacific Northwest: Integrating Science and Management
Description: This project analyzes relationships between climate and topography and spatio-temporal patterns in historical fire regimes in the inland Pacific Northwest, using fire-history data from the Wenatchee, Okanogan, and Colville National Forests. The...
