The role of disturbance severity and canopy closure on standing crop of understory plant species in ponderosa pine stands in northern Arizona, USA
Sabo, Sieg, Hart, Bailey
Concerns about the long-term sustainability, of overstocked dry conifer forests in western North America have provided impetus for treatments designed to enhance their productivity and native biodiversity. Dense forests are increasingly prone to…

Quantifying the multi-scale response of avifauna to prescribed fire experiments in the southwest United States
Dickson, Noon, Flather, Jentsch, Block
Landscape-scale disturbance events, including ecological restoration and fuel reduction activities, can modify habitat and affect relationships between species and their environment. To reduce the risk of uncharacteristic stand-replacing fires in…

Spatial optimization of the pattern of fuel management activities and subsequent effects on simulated wildfires
Kim, Bettinger, Finney
Methods for scheduling forest management activities in a spatial pattern (dispersed, clumped, random, and regular) are presented, with the intent to examine the effects of placement of activities on resulting simulated wildfire behavior. Both…

Changes in fire severity across gradients of climate, fire size, and topography: a landscape ecological perspective
Haire, McGarigal
Fire events contribute to landscape pattern at multiple spatial and temporal scales, and a landscape perspective can provide relevant information for assessing how a changing fire regime will influence pattern-process dynamics. We investigated how…

Effects of timber harvest following wildfire in western North America
Peterson, Agee, Aplet, Dykstra, Graham, Lehmkuhl, Pilliod, Potts, Powers, Stuart
Timber harvest following wildfire leads to different outcomes depending on the biophysical setting of the forest, pattern of burn severity, operational aspects of tree removal, and other management activities. Fire effects range from relatively…
