The REBURN Model: Simulating Forest and Fuel Succession and Disturbance Dynamics of Large Landscapes
Prichard, HessburgThe landscape of eastern Washington, USA is comprised of common temperate forest and nonforest vegetation types distributed along broad topo-edaphic gradients. This landscape acts as the large testbed for presenters Susan Prichard and Paul Hessburg…
