A 1.3 hectare field containing hawthorn and alder was burned in April 1973. Post-burn analysis of 20 hawthorns and 20 alders determined the fire susceptibility of these species. Of those sampled, 80 percent of the trees less than 3 centimeters in basal diameter were killed. The…

The frequency of forest fires during the past 600 yr was studied on 281 sample plots within boreal forest ecosystems in a river valley in northern Sweden. Fire scars in living and dead trees were used for dating past fires. Before fire suppression started in the 19th century the…
