From the text ... 'All fire treatments were applied annually for 5 years, from 1990 to 1994. Fire frequency other than exclusion was therefore not a factor in the experiment, owing to constraints in logistics, resources, and time. Therefore our approach was to apply the extremes of potential fire regimes, and to use simulation modeling to determine likely effects of variation in fire frequency.'
