From the Summary by Dennis Knight (p.233-235) ... 'During and after the 1988 fires, there were many predictions on how greater Yellowstone area (GYA) ecosystems would be affected. Some were based on research that had been done previously; others stemmed more from anecdotal evidence or untested hypotheses. Five years later, 225 scientists and managers from six federal agencies, six state agencies, and 24 colleges and universities gathered in Mammoth to compare the results of their research. Like the fires themselves, the meeting was historic. As Superintendent Bob Barbee observed, 'The opportunity to learn did not go to waste.' Numerous reports are now being written that will affect management and research in the future. Some of the highlights are presented in this summary.' The topics covered are as follows: Vegetation Change; Animal Populations; Aquatic Ecosystems; and What next?.
