Woody browse production was measured in four upland community types on two adjacent 33-year-old wildfire areas. No difference in twig numbers were found between the burns for ten species studied. Only three of the ten browse species present in more than one community type showed differences in twig numbers among the types. Yields of the species groups, total shrub browse, and total tree seedling browse, differed among the types while total browse did not. Lack of a difference in total browse production is attributed to various species reaching peak yield in different community types, thus offsetting each other and maintaining an overall relatively stable level of production.
