This paper surveys available information on fire regimes and methodology employed in elucidating these regimes during the suppression, presuppression and post-glacial periods, principally in the boreal and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest regions of Ontario. The presettlement section reviews written accounts, tree-ring and fire scar dating, mapping of fire patterns, and stand age-class distribution. Research needs are suggested.
