In its northern range redwood vegetation is influenced by fires of differing intensity. Relatively hot fires appear essential for the establishment of Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) trees as discrete age classes. Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and several lesser associates are successful with or wit out fires. The effects of two fires are described.
